Configure IPMI Remote Access on an OP4512, OP5020XG, OP5033XG, OP5705XG, or an OP5707XG Simulator

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 Simulators

• OP4512

• OP5020XG

• OP5033XG

• OP5705XG

• OP5707XG
