    1
    https://192.168.1.<boardno>

    If you want to visit board’s BMC IP remotely, please input the following command in browser: https://htsat.vicp.cc: <port><boardno>, the <port> is set to “40” by default.
    e.g.

    1
    https://htsat.vicp.cc:40135

    1
    https://114.119.4.74:<port><boardno>

    The <port> is set to “8” by default. For example, if you want to visit board 135’s BMC IP which located in EOL2, please input https:114.119.4.74:8135 in your browser.

e.g.:

1
2
ipmitool -H 192.168.2.100 -I lanplus -U root -P Huawei12#$ power on
ipmitool -H 192.168.2.100 -I lanplus -U root -P Huawei12#$ power off

Open the other terminal and input the following command to enable the board with command:

1
ipmitool -H <board's BMC IP> -I lanplus -U root -P Huawei12#$ sol activate

e.g.:
