Hi everyone,

 

I am not sure would I post this kind of question in this...but I have no choice to find solution for my supermicro motherboard IPMI problem.... my configuration is X11SSZ-QF + i7 6700.

 

I cannot ping / use web browser / IPMI viwer to get through it.... even through I attach all three port of the motherboard to my router....

 

please help... :( :'(

IPMI has its own IP address which is different than the motherboard's IP.  On the mac, I use LanScan to list out the IPs on my network sorted by the manufacturer of the device. The supermicro board will show up on the list twice. One of them is for IPMI, and the other is for the motherboard.

 

Alternatively, you can use IPMIview which you can download from Supermicro. It will take a range of IP addresses and tell you which ones are IPMI.

Tried to use supermicro IPMIview but no result ....

Does it be related to "Failover" IPMI Lan selection found in the BIOS?

I don't know if the the X11 is the same, I have some from the X9 series and in the bios there's an option to choose the IPMI IP address:

 

IPMI -> BCM configuration

 

 

Thanks. but I have set below configuration already:

 

IPMI LAN Selection: Failover

IMPI Network Link Status: Dedicated LAN

 

Configuration Address Source: Static

Station MAC Address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

Station IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Subnet Mask: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Gateway IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 

But still not work...

I tried also to set DHCP and use supermicro to search ip range.... not work as well...

Thanks. but I have set below configuration already:

 

IPMI LAN Selection: Failover

IMPI Network Link Status: Dedicated LAN

 

Configuration Address Source: Static

Station MAC Address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

Station IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Subnet Mask: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Gateway IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 

But still not work...

 

When set to static you have to specify the IP adress, subnet mask and gateway.

I have set IP address, gateway, and subset mask ...but just mark them as "x" in the forum... haha"

On my board the IP for IPMI is listed on the initial power on, and always on reboot prior to POST completing.

If it is listed as 0.0.0.0 or X.X.X.X you know you have an issue resolving the IP address for the IPMI LAN connection.

Do you have any status lights on the NIC for this LAN connection? If not, this is likely hardware related, swap cables with your other LAN port and see if this changes.
