circle-infoIntroduction

This guide describes the ESN904 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) web interface built on the Insyde® Supervyse platform. It explains the available menus, features, and operational procedures in detail.

Purpose of this Guide

You can use this guide to:

  • Navigate the BMC web interface

  • Review system and hardware information

  • Manage logs and diagnostics

  • Perform remote operations such as power control, firmware updates, KVM, and SOL

  • Configure security, networking, and system parameters

The guide is intended for administrators or technical engineers managing ESN904 systems.

About the BMC Web Interface

The ESN904 BMC web interface provides a graphical, browser-based platform for out-of-band system management.

Using the BMC interface, you can:

  • Monitor real-time system and sensor data

  • Access hardware inventory and status

  • Review and download event logs.

  • Perform remote power operations

  • Launch the KVM or SOL console

  • Configure BIOS remotely

  • Manage user authentication and security settings

  • Configure networking and virtual media settings

The BMC web interface is accessible over the dedicated management network port using any supported modern browser.

Supported Browsers and Requirements

The BMC web interface supports the following browsers:

  • Google Chrome (latest version recommended)

  • Mozilla Firefox (latest version recommended)

  • Microsoft Edge (latest version recommended)

Browser performance and behavior may differ based on version and security policies. For the best experience, always use the latest stable version.

Default Login Credentials

Check BMC IP address via the command line

If the system has already booted into an operating system (Linux or Windows), you can retrieve the current BMC IP configuration using the ipmitool command.

  • On Linux (as root): ipmitool lan print 1

  • On Windows (run PowerShell as Administrator): ipmitool.exe lan print 1

  • Typical output:

IP Address Source

Static Address

IP Address

192.168.0.120

Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

Default Gateway IP

192.168.0.1

If multiple BMC channels are present, try the following commands to identify the active one: ipmitool lan print 2, ipmitool lan print 3.

Set a static BMC IP address

To configure a static IP address instead of using DHCP, run the following commands:

ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static

ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr 192.168.0.120

ipmitool lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0

ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr 192.168.0.1

After setting the values, verify the configuration: ipmitool lan print 1. This ensures that the BMC network configuration is correctly applied and remains persistent across reboots.

Accessing the web interface

The Insyde BMC web interface is accessible via the configured BMC IP address. For example: https://<BMC-IP-ADDRESS> (e.g., https://10.0.174.13)
