Configuring IPMI on OP4512, OP5020XG, OP5033XG, OP5705XG, and OP5707XG Simulators

OPAL-RT configures the simulator’s IPMI to use DHCP by default. This procedure explains how to set a fixed IP address for the IPMI if preferred. This operation is optional.

• Equipment: Connect a monitor to the simulator’s VGA port, a keyboard to any USB port, an Ethernet cable to IPMI LAN, and a power cable.

• Applicable Systems: OP4512, OP5020XG, OP5033XG, OP5705XG, OP5707XG.

• Network Configuration: Consult your IT department to determine if a static IP address can be assigned to the simulator on the network. They will likely provide a range of IP addresses that your Windows host computer can communicate with.
