                  The following special cases exist for IBM System x servers:
  
                    - For x3755 M3 systems, 0 means use the dedicated port, 1 means shared, blank is to not assign.
  
                    - For certain systems which have a mezzaine or ML2 adapter, there is a second value to include:
                        For x3750 M4 (Model 8722):
                          0 2   1st 1Gbps interface for LOM
                          0 0   1st 10Gbps interface for LOM
                          0 3   2nd 1Gbps interface for LOM
                          0 1   2nd 10Gbps interface for LOM
                        For  x3750 M4 (Model 8752), x3850/3950 X6, dx360 M4, x3550 M4, and x3650 M4:
                          0     Shared (1st onboard interface)
                          1     Dedicated
                          2 0   First interface on ML2 or mezzanine adapter
                          2 1   Second interface on ML2 or mezzanine adapter
                          2 2   Third interface on ML2 or mezzanine adapter
                          2 3   Fourth interface on ML2 or mezzanine adapter
  
                  For Dell systems, a second and third values can also be used:
                          1st value:  0 = shared / 1 = dedicated
                          2nd value   shared LOM (1-4)   (0 or no value means first available LOM)
                          3rd value:  failover LOM (1-4) (0 means no failover, no value means all LOMs)
                              0      Shared with first available interface, failover all LOMs (catch all mode)
                              0 1    Shared with LOM1, failover all LOMs
                              0 1 2  Shared with LOM1, failover LOM2
                              0 2 0  Shared with LOM2, no failover
                              1      Dedicated
 
 


\ **taggedvlan**\ 
 
 bmcsetup script will configure the network interface of the BMC to be tagged to the VLAN specified.
 


\ **bmcid**\ 
 
 Unique identified data used by discovery processes to distinguish known BMCs from unrecognized BMCs
 


\ **username**\ 
 
 The BMC userid.  If not specified, the key=ipmi row in the passwd table is used as the default.
 


\ **password**\ 
 
 The BMC password.  If not specified, the key=ipmi row in the passwd table is used as the default.
