Ipmitool-I open LAN print 1 displays information about the BMC channel. If you do not know which channel the BMC uses, run the following command to confirm: ipmitool-I open channel info 1 ipmitool-I open LAN set 1 ipsrc static set local BMC address to static, you can set ipipmitool-I open LAN set 1 ipaddr 172.16.0.2 to set the IP address of the local BMC ipmitool-I open LAN set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, do not forget to set the ipmitool-I open LAN set 1 defgw ipaddr 172.16.0.254 gateway, which can be set but make sure that the machine that monitors it is on the same route
