ipmitool lan set 6 netmask 255.255.255.0
ipmitool lan set 6 defgw ipaddr 0.0.0.0
ipmitool lan set 6 ipsrc static
ipmitool lan set 6 snmp public
ipmitool lan set 6 user

ipmitool lan set 7 ipaddr 10.0.0.1
ipmitool lan set 7 netmask 255.255.255.128
ipmitool lan set 7 defgw ipaddr 10.0.0.254
ipmitool lan set 7 ipsrc static
ipmitool lan set 7 snmp public
