Supermicro IPMI Utilities
Note: The IPMICFG, SMCIPMITool, and IPMIView utilities (excluding mobile apps) are not supported for the new X14/H14 generation platforms or later models. For these new platforms, we recommend using SuperServer Automation Assistant (SAA) and SuperServer Management (SSM) for comprehensive support in either Command Line Interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI) management styles.
IPMICFG
IPMICFG is an In-band utility for configuring IPMI devices. It is a command line tool providing standard IPMI and Supermicro® proprietary OEM commands for BMC/FRU configuration. This CLI-based utility can be executed on UEFI, DOS, Windows, and Linux OS and does not require any additional software installation.
IPMICFG Key Features:
- Set up IPMI IP Address
- Set up IPMI Configuration
- Configure IPMI User Management
- Configure IPMI FRU
- Manage System Event Log (SEL)
- Manage IPMI by node management (NM) protocol
System Requirements
Hardware

option: -d | Detected IPMI device for BMC reset.
-fdl Reset to the factory default. (Clean LAN)
option: -d | Detected IPMI device for BMC reset.
-fde Reset to the factory default. (Clean FRU & LAN)
option: -d | Detected IPMI device for BMC reset.
-ver Get Firmware revision.
-vlan Get VLAN status.
-vlan on <vlan tag> Enable the VLAN and set the VLAN tag.
If VLANtag is not given it uses previously saved value.
