Before you can access the BMC interface, you must configure the IP address for the BMC management port on the SG6000-CN controller.
Before you begin
- The management client is using a supported web browser.
- You are using any management client that can connect to a StorageGRID network.
- The BMC management port is connected to the management network you plan to use.

Steps
- From the client, enter the URL for the StorageGRID Appliance Installer: https://SG6000-CN_Controller_IP:8443
For SG6000-CN_Controller_IP, use the IP address for the appliance on any StorageGRID network.
The StorageGRID Appliance Installer Home page appears.
- Select .
The Baseboard Management Controller Configuration page appears.
- Make a note of the IPv4 address that is automatically displayed.
DHCP is the default method for assigning an IP address to this port.
Note: It might take a few minutes for the DHCP values to appear.

- Optionally, set a static IP address for the BMC management port.
Note: You should either assign a static IP for the BMC management port or assign a permanent lease for the address on the DHCP server.
- Select Static.
- Enter the IPv4 address, using CIDR notation.
- Enter the default gateway.
- Click Save.
It might take a few minutes for your changes to be applied.
