1.0 Introduction
This user guide is written for system administrators and end-users who intend
to configure the Intelligence Platform Management Interface (IPMI) settings
supported by ASPEED AST2600 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC),
which is integrated into the mainboard. This document provides detailed
information on configuring the BMC settings supported by the AST2600
controller.

Note: All screenshots in this document are provided for illustrative purposes
only and may vary from the actual product.

2.0 BMC Web User Interface Service
The BMC firmware provides an embedded web server that allows users to
configure the BMC settings through the BMC Web User Interface (WebUI)
service. The detailed information is listed in the following sections.

2.1 BMC WebUI Login URL

BMC WebUI service supports login the service by URL with either HyperText
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
methods. For security reasons, it is recommended that users use HTTPS to
access the BMC WebUI service.

2.1.1 Configuring BMC IP Address by UEFI BIOS

To access the BMC WebUI service by URL, users can configure or obtain the
BMC IP address from UEFI BIOS.

[Link] Obtain BMC IP Address from DHCP mode

1. Boot to UEFI BIOS SETUP page.
2. Select the Server Mgnt page.
3. Select the BMC Network Configuration page.

11
 4. Obtain BMC IP Address from the field of Station IP Address if
Configuration address source is set to DHCP or

Figure 1. Snapshot of BMC Network Configuration Page

12
 5. Obtain the BMC IP address from the UEFI BIOS POST screen or

Figure 2. Snapshot of BMC IP Address Shown in Screen During UEFI BIOS POST

6. Obtain the BMC IP address from the UEFI BIOS LOGO screen.

Figure 3. Snapshot of BIOS LOGO Screen with BMC IP Address

13
[Link] Setting Static BMC IP Address through UEFI BIOS
1. Boot to UEFI BIOS SETUP page.
2. Select the Server Mgnt page.
3. Select the BMC Network Configuration page.
4. Navigate to Manual setting IPMI LAN and select the [Yes].
5. Navigate to Configuration address source and select the [Static].
6. Once the Configuration address source is Static, the field of Station
IP Address, Current subnet mask, and Current router IP address
will display [Link] and configurable, which indicates users can fill the
new setting value into these fields. After filling the new value into these
fields, press <F10> to save the values and reboot the system to enable
these configured settings values.

Figure 4. Snapshot of Configure BMC Static IP Address

14
2.2 Username and Password
Once users connect to the BMC WebUI service through the browser, the BMC
WebUI service login page will display on the browser.

Figure 5. Snapshot of BMC WebUI Service Login Page

The fields description is shown as follows:

⚫ Username: Enter the user identifier (UID) of the account to who wants
to log in.
⚫ Password: Enter the password of the account to which wants to log in.
⚫ Language Menu: Changes BMC WebUI supported language.
⚫ Remember Username: Check the box if users want to keep the
username in the browser settings.
⚫ Sign me in: After entering the required credentials, click the Sign me in
to log in to the BMC WebUI service.
⚫ I forgot my password: The user can generate a new password using

15
 this link if the user forgot the password.
⚫ Default Username and Password:
◼ Username: admin
◼ Password: admin

Note: If the user uses the default username and password to log in to the
BMC WebUI service for the first time, the service will request the user to
change the password.

16
2.3 Accessing BMC WebUI Service
The BMC WebUI service consists of various items, including menu, graphics,
table, options, and configuration. The detailed information is listed in the
following subsections.

Figure 6. Snapshot of BMC WebUI Service Main Page

17
2.3.1 Menu Bar

The Menu Bar provides a group of functional feature tabs for users to
configure the BMC configuration. The Menu Bar is located on the left side of
BMC WebUI.

Figure 7. Snapshot of Menu Bar

The supported feature tabs are listed in the following:

⚫ Quick Links Search Bar

⚫ Dashboard
⚫ Sensor
⚫ System Information
⚫ Logs and Reports
◼ IPMI Event Log

18
 ◼ Audit Log
◼ Post Code log
◼ Debug Log
⚫ Settings
⚫ Remote Control
⚫ Image Redirection
⚫ Power Control
⚫ Miscellaneous
⚫ Maintenance
⚫ Sign Out

The Host Online/Host Offline icon indicates the system power state is
Power ON/Power Off. Click the icon, then navigate to the Power Control
page.

The UID On/UID Off icon indicates the current UID LED status. Click the
icon, then navigate to the UID Control page.

19
2.3.2 Quick Link and User Information

The Quick Link and User Information are located in the upper right corner of
BMC WebUI. It provides various functional feature links for users quickly view
the information or change the specific configuration.

Figure 8. Snapshot of Quick Link and User Information
