IMC Access Policy

An IMC Access Policy configures server management controller (CIMC) network access options, defining how In-Band and Out-of-Band management IP addresses are assigned to endpoints. It integrates with IP Pools to automate management IP allocation and is applied to Server or Chassis profiles.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates a basic In-Band IMC Access policy using an IP pool for management address assignment.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          imc_access:
            - name: inband-access
              description: In-Band IMC access with IP pool
              configure_inband: true
              inband_vlan: 100
              inband_ip_pool: mgmt-ip-pool
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: The example below demonstrates a policy enabling both In-Band and Out-of-Band management with separate IP pools.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          imc_access:
            - name: dual-access
              description: In-Band and Out-of-Band IMC access
              configure_inband: true
              configure_out_of_band: true
              inband_vlan: 100
              inband_ip_pool: inband-mgmt-pool
              out_of_band_ip_pool: oob-mgmt-pool
              ipv4: true
              ipv6: false
