Abstract

The application discloses a BMC address configuration method based on IPMI and related components, and relates to the field of BMCs.When the IPMI mode setting instruction is a static mode instruction, the BMC does not immediately enter the static mode, and a user can issue an address configuration instruction according to original address information, thereby avoiding the situation that the user is not clear about the address information due to entering the static mode, and the out-of-band instruction can continue to be used, which is convenient for remote control.In addition, whether in the static mode or the dynamic mode, after the address configuration is completed, the BMC control display module displays the address configuration result to the user.On the one hand, when the address configuration result includes the configured address information, the situation that the switch is out of contact does not occur, and remote control is facilitated.On the other hand, when the address configuration result includes information indicating whether the configuration is successful, manual checking is not needed to confirm whether the configuration is successful, manpower is saved, and work efficiency and accuracy are improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of BMC (Browser Control Center), and in particular to a BMC address configuration method and related components based on IPMI. Background Technology

[0002] IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is an open standard hardware management interface specification widely used in switches. IPMI controls switches using open-source command-line tools. IPMI control commands are divided into in-band and out-of-band commands: in-band commands are executed directly on the switch, while out-of-band commands are executed via remote control methods such as Linux. A key characteristic of remote operation using out-of-band commands is that the target switch's address information must be explicitly specified.

[0003] In practical applications, the switch responds to IPMI control commands through the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). The process of configuring the address of the BMC through IPMI is divided into two types: static mode and dynamic DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) mode. In static mode, the operator configures the address of the BMC by manually entering the corresponding command. In dynamic mode, the address of the BMC is automatically configured through the DHCP protocol.

[0004] In existing technologies, if a user configures the BMC address using out-of-band commands, the use of out-of-band commands requires explicit address information. However, in static mode where address information is not manually configured, the BMC's address information is unconfigured, and the user cannot know this information. In dynamic mode, the BMC's address information is randomly provided by the DHCP protocol, and the user cannot know this information either. Therefore, in both static and dynamic modes, the user is often unaware of the BMC's address information, preventing the issuance of out-of-band commands and hindering remote operation. If in-band commands are used to configure the BMC address, in static mode, issuing the configuration command does not guarantee successful configuration; manual verification of the configuration result is required for confirmation and subsequent operations. In dynamic mode, since the address information is randomly provided by the DHCP protocol, manual verification of the configuration result is also necessary to obtain the configured address information. Manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also introduces unavoidable errors, leading to reduced efficiency and accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a BMC address configuration method and related components based on IPMI, which facilitates remote control without the need for manual verification to confirm successful configuration, thereby saving manpower and improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an IPMI-based BMC address configuration method, applied to a BMC, comprising:

[0007] Determine the IPMI mode setting command;

[0008] When the IPMI mode setting instruction is a static mode instruction, upon receiving the address configuration instruction, the BMC is triggered to enter static mode and perform corresponding address configuration according to the address configuration instruction.

[0009] When the IPMI mode setting instruction is a dynamic mode instruction, the BMC is triggered to enter dynamic mode and perform the corresponding address configuration;

[0010] Obtain the address configuration result after address configuration, the address configuration result including the configured address information and / or information indicating whether the configuration was successful;

[0011] The control display module displays the address configuration results.

[0012] Preferably, when the address configuration result includes the configured address information, after obtaining the address configuration result corresponding to the IPMI mode setting instruction, the method further includes:

[0013] Determine if the configured address information is valid;

[0014] If so, proceed to the step of displaying the address configuration result in the control display module.

[0015] Preferably, when the IPMI mode setting instruction is a static mode instruction, determining whether the configured address information is valid includes:

[0016] Determine whether the configured address information is the same as the address information corresponding to the address configuration instruction;

[0017] If they are the same, then the configured address information is deemed valid;

[0018] If they are different, the configured address information is deemed invalid.

[0019] Preferably, when the IPMI mode setting instruction is a dynamic mode instruction, determining whether the configured address information is valid includes:

[0020] Determine whether there is any invalid information in the preset invalid information database that is identical to the configured address information;

[0021] If it exists, the configured address information is deemed invalid;

[0022] If it does not exist, then the configured address information is deemed valid.

[0023] Preferably, the address configuration instructions include IP address configuration instructions, gateway information configuration instructions, and mask information configuration instructions.

[0024] Preferably, the control display module displays the address configuration result, including:

[0025] The address configuration result is transmitted to the display module so that the display module displays the address configuration result.

[0026] Preferably, before the control display module displays the address configuration result, the method further includes:

[0027] Determine whether the address configuration results were collected within a preset time period;

[0028] If so, proceed to the step of controlling the display module to display the address configuration result;

[0029] If not, control the display module to display collection failure information.

[0030] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention also provides a BMC address configuration system based on IPMI, comprising:

[0031] The mode determination module is used to determine the IPMI mode setting command;

[0032] The static configuration module is used to trigger the BMC to enter static mode after receiving the address configuration instruction when the IPMI mode setting instruction is a static mode instruction, and to perform corresponding address configuration according to the address configuration instruction.

[0033] The dynamic configuration module is used to trigger the BMC to enter dynamic mode and perform corresponding address configuration when the IPMI mode setting instruction is a dynamic mode instruction;

[0034] The result acquisition module is used to acquire the address configuration result corresponding to the IPMI mode setting instruction. The address configuration result includes the configured address information and / or information indicating whether the success is successful.

[0035] The display module is used to control the display module to display the address configuration results.

[0036] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a switch, comprising:

[0037] Memory, used to store computer programs;

[0038] BMC is used to implement the steps of the IPMI-based BMC address configuration method as described above when executing the computer program.

[0039] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by the BMC, implements the steps of the IPMI-based BMC address configuration method described above.

[0040] This invention provides a BMC address configuration method and related components based on IPMI. When the IPMI mode setting command is a static mode command, the BMC does not immediately enter static mode. The user can issue an address configuration command based on the existing address information. After receiving the address configuration command and confirming the address information corresponding to the command, the BMC then enters static mode. This avoids situations where the BMC's address information is unconfigured or the user is unclear about the address information due to entering static mode. Out-of-band commands can still be used, facilitating remote control. Furthermore, regardless of whether it is static or dynamic mode, after address configuration is completed, the BMC automatically obtains the address configuration result and controls the display module to display the result to the user. On the one hand, when the address configuration result includes the configured address information, there will be no loss of connection with the switch, facilitating remote control; on the other hand, when the address configuration result includes information indicating success or failure, manual verification is unnecessary, saving manpower and improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0046] The core of this invention is to provide a BMC address configuration method and related components based on IPMI, which facilitates remote control without the need for manual verification to confirm successful configuration, thus saving manpower and improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] To help better understand the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, before introducing the methods provided by the embodiments of this application, we will first introduce the application scenarios of the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0049] The switch's BMC (Block Controller) and CPU (Central Processing Unit) share a Console and a single RJ45 interface, but both have independent addresses. The BMC's address configuration mode can be set to static mode or dynamic DHCP mode, automatically obtaining an address via the DHCP protocol.

[0050] BMC is more commonly used in customer scenarios with out-of-band commands. However, when using out-of-band commands for address configuration, whether in static or dynamic mode, the switch will lose connection due to unknown address information. If you need to view the address information or perform further settings and operations, you must connect the switch to a serial port server and configure it through the serial port; or you can connect to the CPU side via SSH (Network Working Group, Secure Shell protocol) to make settings.

[0051] When configuring addresses using in-band commands, each command executes quickly. However, the completion of command execution does not necessarily mean the corresponding settings are actually complete. The `ipmitool lan print 1` command is needed to check if the "Set inProgress" status is "Set Complete". Only when the status changes to "Set Complete" is the command truly complete. In dynamic DHCP mode, we need to wait for the "Complete" command to retrieve the address information. In static mode, we need to wait for each "Set Complete" command before proceeding to the next step; otherwise, the system may display "Set successful" but the actual configuration may fail.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a BMC address configuration method based on IPMI provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the method being applied to a BMC, including:

[0053] S101: Determine IPMI mode setting command;

[0054] S102: When the IPMI mode setting instruction is a static mode instruction, after receiving the address configuration instruction, the BMC is triggered to enter static mode and perform the corresponding address configuration according to the address configuration instruction;

[0055] S103: When the IPMI mode setting instruction is set to dynamic mode, the BMC is triggered to enter dynamic mode and perform the corresponding address configuration.

[0056] S104: Obtain the address configuration result after address configuration. The address configuration result includes the configured address information and / or information indicating whether the configuration was successful.

[0057] S105: Control the display module to display the address configuration results.

[0058] The IPMI mode setting commands and address configuration commands used in this embodiment are both IPMI commands. Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the specific form of the IPMI commands; for example, they can be in-band commands or out-of-band commands, and both can be used to achieve normal IPMI command delivery through the method provided in this embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the out-of-band command format is: ipmitool -I lanplus -H <bmcip> -U <username> -P <password>Specific instructions.

[0059] This embodiment does not limit the specific type of address configuration instructions. For example, it may include IP address configuration instructions, gateway information configuration instructions, or mask information configuration instructions. Furthermore, when the address configuration instruction is an IP address configuration instruction, the corresponding configured address information is an IP address; when the address configuration instruction is a gateway information configuration instruction, the corresponding configured address information is gateway information; and when the address configuration instruction is a mask information configuration instruction, the corresponding configured address information is a mask.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the IPMI command `ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp / static` is used to execute the setting mode. When a static mode command is received, the BMC will not immediately enter static mode. At this time, the original address information can still be used to send address configuration commands to the BMC. Only when the address configuration command is received will the BMC be triggered to enter static mode and perform the corresponding address configuration according to the address configuration command. When a dynamic mode command is received, the BMC enters dynamic mode, and the BMC's address information is randomly provided by the DHCP protocol for corresponding address configuration.

[0061] This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the display module, as long as it can display the address configuration result to the user so that the user can obtain the configured address information and / or information indicating whether the configuration was successful. By displaying the BMC's current address information to the user through the display module, the user can clearly see the BMC's specific IP address, subnet mask information, and gateway information.

[0062] This invention provides a BMC address configuration method and related components based on IPMI. When the IPMI mode setting command is a static mode command, the BMC does not immediately enter static mode. The user can issue an address configuration command based on the existing address information. After receiving the address configuration command and confirming the address information corresponding to the command, the BMC then enters static mode. This avoids situations where the BMC's address information is unconfigured or the user is unclear about the address information due to entering static mode. Out-of-band commands can still be used, facilitating remote control. Furthermore, regardless of whether it is static or dynamic mode, after address configuration is completed, the BMC automatically obtains the address configuration result and controls the display module to display the result to the user. On the one hand, when the address configuration result includes the configured address information, there will be no loss of connection with the switch, facilitating remote control; on the other hand, when the address configuration result includes information indicating success or failure, manual verification is unnecessary, saving manpower and improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments:

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, when the address configuration result includes the configured address information, after obtaining the address configuration result corresponding to the IPMI mode setting instruction, the method further includes:

[0065] Determine if the configured address information is valid;

[0066] If so, proceed to the control display module to display the address configuration results.

[0067] This embodiment does not limit the specific method for determining whether the configured address information is valid. For example, it can be compared with the address information corresponding to the address configuration instruction; if they are different, the configured address information is determined to be invalid. Alternatively, an invalid information database can be established, marking unusable address information and entering it into the database; if the configured address information is the same as invalid information in the database, it is determined to be invalid. Furthermore, invalid information in the invalid information database can include "000.000.0.0", or it can include illegal address information that violates address information rules, or it can be address information that is already in use, or it can be other invalid information.

[0068] This embodiment ensures the validity of the configured address information by automating the verification of the address information, saving manpower and improving the accuracy and efficiency of configuration.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, when the IPMI mode setting instruction is a static mode instruction, determining whether the configured address information is valid includes:

[0070] Determine whether the configured address information is the same as the address information corresponding to the address configuration command;

[0071] If they are the same, the configured address information is considered valid.

[0072] If they are different, the configured address information is deemed invalid.

[0073] This embodiment provides a method for judging the validity of configured address information in static mode. The method compares the configured address information with the address information corresponding to the address configuration instruction to determine whether the configured address information is valid. This eliminates the need for users to manually verify each item, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, when the IPMI mode setting instruction is a dynamic mode instruction, determining whether the configured address information is valid includes:

[0075] Determine whether there is any invalid information in the preset invalid information database that is identical to the configured address information;

[0076] If it exists, the configured address information is deemed invalid;

[0077] If it does not exist, the configured address information is considered valid.

[0078] This embodiment does not limit the specific type of invalid information in the preset invalid information database. For example, it may include "000.000.0.0", or it may include illegal address information that violates address information rules, or it may be address information that has already been occupied, or it may be other invalid information.

[0079] This embodiment provides a method for judging the validity of configured address information in dynamic mode. The method compares the invalid information in a preset invalid information database with the configured address information to determine whether the configured address information is valid. This eliminates the need for users to manually check and compare, further improving the accuracy and automation efficiency of address configuration.

[0080] In one preferred embodiment, the address configuration instructions include IP address configuration instructions, gateway information configuration instructions, and mask information configuration instructions.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, the IP address configuration command is ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr XXXX, the gateway information configuration command is ipmitool lan set 1 netmask XXXX, and the mask information configuration command is ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr XXXX.

[0082] It's important to note that IP addresses have a hierarchical allocation structure, meaning each IP address is divided into a network address and a host address to facilitate IP address addressing. Therefore, a subnet mask doesn't exist alone; it's usually used in conjunction with an IP address. The purpose of a subnet mask is to divide an IP address into its network and host parts. Like IP addresses, subnet masks are 32 bits long, with the network bits on the left represented by binary "1"s and the host bits on the right represented by binary "0". A gateway acts as a "gateway" connecting one network to another; communication between these two networks must go through a gateway.

[0083] This embodiment provides three address configuration instructions to configure the corresponding address information, thereby improving the accuracy of the configuration and expanding the scope of application.

[0084] In one preferred embodiment, the control display module displays the address configuration results, including:

[0085] The address configuration result is transmitted to the display module so that the display module can display the address configuration result.

[0086] This embodiment does not limit the specific content and structure of the display module. For example, it can be an LCD screen, a voice prompt module, or other forms.

[0087] Furthermore, when the address configuration result includes the configured address information, it can be displayed on the screen in a certain format. This format can be text, images, numbers (the meaning of which can be preset), or letters. Of course, any other format can be used to display the configured address information without affecting the implementation of this embodiment. It can also be displayed via voice, specifically by speaking the configured address information. When the address configuration result includes information indicating success or failure, in addition to the above formats, an indicator light can be used. LEDs can be used as indicator lights, but other forms such as diodes can also be used. Preferably, a high-brightness, low-power light should be selected. For example, if the current address configuration is successful, the indicator light can be illuminated. An alarm can also be triggered when the current address configuration is successful: a continuous buzzer sound, other ringing sounds, or any other form of alarm can be used, all without affecting the implementation of this embodiment.

[0088] This embodiment provides prompts to customers or staff through a prompting module, enabling them to more intuitively understand the current address configuration status. This allows staff to quickly control task execution, making the process more intuitive and visual, facilitating staff use, improving user experience, increasing configuration efficiency, and avoiding situations where users are unclear about BMC address information, thus facilitating remote operation.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment, before the control display module displays the address configuration result, the following is also included:

[0090] Determine whether address configuration results were collected within the preset time period;

[0091] If so, proceed to the step of controlling the display module to display the address configuration result;

[0092] If not, the control display module will display a collection failure message.

[0093] This embodiment sets a preset time period, and if the address configuration result is not collected within the preset time period, it is considered as an address configuration result collection failure, thus ensuring the validity of the address information and the efficiency of address configuration.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of BMC address configuration in dynamic mode based on IPMI is provided for embodiments of the present invention:

[0095] When the BMC receives the dynamic DHCP mode setting command, it sends a done signal;

[0096] The done signal triggers the BMC to enter dynamic mode and perform the corresponding address configuration;

[0097] Obtain the IP address, gateway information, and subnet mask information, and check whether the obtained IP address, gateway information, and subnet mask information are valid values;

[0098] If all values ​​are valid, the control display module will display the IP address, gateway information, and subnet mask information.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart of BMC address configuration in static mode based on IPMI is provided for embodiments of the present invention:

[0100] When the BMC receives the static mode setting instruction and the address configuration instruction, it sends a done signal.

[0103] If all values ​​are valid, the control display module will display the IP address, gateway information, and subnet mask information.

[0104] The done signal mentioned in the above embodiments is sent by the BMC and used as a trigger signal. In dynamic DHCP mode, the BMC sends the done signal as soon as it receives the dynamic DHCP mode setting command. In static mode, the done signal is sent only after all three address configuration commands have been received, so that the BMC can enter static mode and perform the corresponding address configuration.
