Daily note taking time.

This thing doesn’t even have documentation.

So I fiddled with some weird AMI motherboards and found out that this product’s IPMI actually has multiple ports and requires bonding.

Although I don’t understand why they made such a stupid design, in short, the IP configured by ipmitool directly does not take effect, and bonding can only be done without access to the IPMI GUI.

Enable bonding

 ~> ipmitool raw 0x32 0x71 6 0 3
 ~> ipmitool raw 0x32 0x71 0x1 0x1 0x0 0x1 0x64 0x0 0x3 0x1

Also: disabling bonding is

 1
 
 ~> ipmitool raw 0x32 0x71 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x1 0x64 0x0 0x3 0x1

Then check the status and execute

 1
 
 ~> ipmitool raw 0x32 0x72 0x1 0x0 0x0

If 00 00 01 64 00 03 01 is returned, it is disabled, and 01 00 01 64 00 03 01 is enabled.

Then configure the lan parameters normally.

By the way, I would like to scold AMI for being inhumane.
