Baseboard management controller and network configuration method of the baseboard management controller

A method for configuring network in a baseboard management controller (BMC), the BMC being connected to a network via at least one network interface device, the method comprising:

• reading network port information of the BMC from a storage system of the BMC, and determine a current active network port from network ports of the at least network interface device according to the network port information;
• detecting if the current active network port works properly;
• determining a new active network port from the network ports of the at least one network interface device if the current active network port does not work properly;
• and
• updating the network port information of the BMC according to the new active network port.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a baseboard management controller (BMC), causes the BMC to execute a network configuration method, the BMC being connected to a network via at least one network interface device, the method comprising:

• reading network port information of the BMC from a storage system of the BMC, and determine a current active network port from network ports of the at least one network interface device according to the network port information;
• detecting if the current active network port works properly;
• determining a new active network port from the network ports of the at least one network interface device if the current active network port does not work properly;
• and
• updating the network port information of the BMC according to the new active network port.
