Prerequisites for IPMI configuration

Verify the following configuration prerequisites:

  • The remote management port auto-negotiates its link speed to 1 Gbps.

    Note:

    If the IPMI port is connected to a managed switch port, it is recommended that you configure the switch port to auto-negotiation

  • If a firewall exists between the appliance and the remote devices that manage an appliance (like a laptop computer), open the following ports:

    66

    SOL SSH

    80

    HTTP

    162

    SNMP

    443

    HTTPS

    623

    Floppy/USB media

    627

    Secured Floppy/USB media

    5120

    CD

    5124

    Secured CD

    5900

    KVM

    5902

    Secured KVM

    Note:

    If you have a private internal network, remember to configure the settings accordingly in your network address translation (NAT).

  • The remote management port must be configured as a DHCP or static address.
