Configure the network for the IPMI port to set up IPMI on Trellix ESM or its devices.

The system must include an IPMI NIC.

  1. On the system navigation tree, select the system or any of the devices, then click the System Properties icon Settings.png.

  2. Access the Network Settings Advanced tab.

    • On Trellix ESM, click Network Settings → Advanced.

    • On a device, click the Configuration option for the device, then click Interfaces → Advanced

  3. Select Enable IPMI Settings, then type the VLAN, IP address, netmask, and gateway for the IPMI.

    Note

    If Enable IPMI Settings is grayed out on device BIOS, you must update the system BIOS. SSH to the device and open the /etc/areca/system_bios_update/Contents-README.txt file.

  4. Click Apply or OK.

    Note

    When upgrading your device, a message might recommend that you change the password or rekey the device to configure the IPMI.
