Problems solved by technology

[0003] The disadvantage of manual operation is that when the number of local servers in the server cabinet system increases or when multiple server cabinets (hundreds or thousands) are to be managed by remote devices, it will take a lot of manpower and time to manually request and record separately The data of the BMC media access control address corresponding to each local server is configured and managed from the remote device one by one, and it is easy to make mistakes by manually requesting and recording a large amount of data. Therefore, the structure of the existing server cabinet and its local server The BMC media access control address acquisition method has the disadvantages of complicated, time-consuming and error-prone data acquisition and configuration setting methods when the local server is managed by a remote device.

no. 1 example

[0024] refer to figure 1 , a first embodiment of the server system of the present invention includes a plurality of local servers 2 , an address allocation server 3 , a communication server 4 , and a remote server 5 .

[0025] Each local server 2 includes a baseboard management controller 21 corresponding to a name information, that is, the aforementioned BMC.

[0026] The address allocation server 3 is in communication connection with the local servers 2, and the address allocation server 3 is the aforementioned DHCP server.

[0027] The communication server 4 is in communication connection with the address assignment server 3 .

[0028] The remote server 5 communicates with the communication server 4 .

[0029] Cooperate with reference figure 2 , is a BMC address management method implemented in the first embodiment, including a step of transmitting an address (A), a step of assigning an address (B), a step of generating a packet (C), and a step of assembling a packet (D...

Abstract

A baseboard management controller address management method is executed by a server system. The server system comprises a plurality of local end servers, an address distribution server and a communication server. Each local end server comprises a baseboard management controller; the baseboard management controller of one of the local end servers transmits a physical address related to the baseboard management controller to the address distribution server; the address distribution server performs dynamic host protocol allocation according to the physical address of the baseboard management controller so as to generate an internet protocol address corresponding to the baseboard management controller and transmit the internet protocol address to the baseboard management controller; and the baseboard management controller transmits a media access address corresponding to the internet protocol address and the baseboard management controller to the communication server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for electronic digital data processing, in particular to a server system management device for processing interconnection or transmission requests and a server address acquisition and storage management method. Background technique [0002] In the current server cabinet, the baseboard management controller (BMC: Baseboard Management Controller, hereinafter referred to as BMC) of each local server is an important component for monitoring and managing the overall status of the server. Before the device is connected to the BMC of one of the local servers in the server cabinet for monitoring and management, it is necessary to manually go to the physical server cabinet to operate the server cabinet to obtain multiple local servers contained in the server cabinet. The BMC media access control address (MACAddress: Media Access Control Address) can then be configured to the remote device through the remote d...
