FindBmcDevices

Finds the available BMC devices within a given network segment, or within the same network (255.255.255.0) as the network interface in the managed system. In-band only.

Syntax

In-Band (without --getMACs)

saa -c FindBmcDevices [{--start_ip <IP>}{--end_ip <IP>}{--netmask <netmask>}]

In-Band (with --getMACs)

saa -c FindBmcDevices --getMACs {--start_ip <IP>}{--end_ip <IP>}{--netmask <netmask>}{--file <filename>} [{--find_user <username>}{--find_password <password>}]

Options

  • --file <file name> (Optional): The file to write, required with --getMACs used.
  • --start_ip <Start IP> (Optional): Start address of the network to search.
  • --end_ip <End IP> (Optional): End address of the network to search.
  • --netmask <Netmask> (Optional): Subnet mask of the network to search.
  • --getMACs (Optional): Retrieves the MAC addresses of the found BMC devices and writes them to a file.
  • --find_user <Username for find device> (Optional): Specifies the username for the found BMC devices. Used in conjunction with --getMACs.
  • --find_password <Password for find device> (Optional): Specifies the password for the found BMC devices. Used in conjunction with --getMACs.

Examples

In-Band

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -c FindBmcDevices --start_ip 192.168.34.0 --end_ip 192.168.34.255 --netmask 255.255.255.0

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -c FindBmcDevices --start_ip 192.168.34.56 --end_ip 192.168.34.200 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --file 123.txt --getMACs

Output

Without --getMACs
