Embodiment 1

[0020] as attached figure 1 As shown, a kind of method of online test NCSI network card functional integrity of the present embodiment specifically comprises the following steps:

[0021] S10: Prepare test tools, NCSI external network card, main board, ensure that the NCSI signal function of the main board is normal, insert the NCSI external network card into the main board, connect the network cable to the network card, and ensure that the network cable is normally connected to the DHCP server.

[0022] S11: Select the NCSI function as an external network card, turn on the main board, enter the OS, execute this test tool, send an IPMI command, adjust the NCSI network card gating function from the onboard network card to an external network card, and send an IPMI command to restart the BMC to enable The NCSI function is enabled for external network cards.

[0023] S12: Test the network connectivity of the NCSI network card. After detecting that the BMC restart is completed, s...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of computer board card development and testing, in particular to a method for on-line testing of functional completeness of a network controller sideband interface (NCSI) network card. The method comprises the following steps that (1) a testing tool, the built-out NCSI network card and a mainboard are prepared, the situation that the NCSI signal function of the mainboard is normal is ensured, the built-out NCSI network card is inserted into the mainboard, a network cable is connected to the network card, and the situation that the network cable is normally communicated to a DHCP server is ensured; (2) the NCSI gating function serves as the function of the built-out network card; (3) network connectivity of the NCSI network card is tested; (4) the NCSI gating function serves as the function of a default onboard network card. The method for on-line testing of functional completeness of the NCSI network card can fully verify functional completeness of the NCSI network card, effectively achieve verification of the function of the NCSI network card, and rapidly accomplish on-line verification of the function of the NCSI network card, is easy to operate and high in efficiency, and has high application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of development and testing of computer boards, in particular to a method for online testing of the functional integrity of NCSI network cards. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of IT technology, people have higher and higher requirements for server management technology, among which reliability and stability are a very important indicator requirement. At present, a conventional method is to use the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, Baseboard Management Controller) chip to connect to the network card chip on the server motherboard through the NCSI (Network Controller Sideband Interface, Network Controller Sideband Interface) signal bus, and share the network card chip of the server. The network port sends or receives the monitoring information of the server. But the characteristic of this design method is that one BMC chip is only connected to one network card chip. Once there is a...
