A security audit reveals that several PowerEdge XE servers in a data center are still using default BMC credentials. The administrator needs to remediate this quickly, but the servers are in different network segments and some are not reachable via the network. What is the MOST efficient approach to change the default credentials on all affected servers?

Use a scripted IPMI tool to change the password on all reachable servers, and use the serial console for the unreachable ones

Disconnect the servers from the network to prevent unauthorized access until passwords can be changed

Reboot each server and use the BIOS setup to change the password

Use the web interface on each server to change the password

An administrator needs to perform a firmware update on a PowerEdge XE server's BMC. The admin prefers a command-line method and has SSH access to the BMC. Which command should the admin use to log into the BMC via SSH?

ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.1.100 -U root -P calvin chassis status

A technician is setting up a PowerEdge XE server in a lab where the network switch has limited available ports. The technician wants to minimize the number of network ports used while still being able to manage the server's BMC. Which access method should the technician use?

Use the serial console for BMC access

Use the dedicated NIC for BMC access

Use the shared NIC for BMC access

Use the BIOS setup to configure BMC access
