option: -d | Detected IPMI device for BMC reset.
-garp on Enable the Gratuitous ARP.
-garp off Disable the Gratuitous ARP.
-fd Reset to the factory default.
option: -d | Detected IPMI device for BMC reset.
-fdl Reset to the factory default. (Clean LAN)
option: -d | Detected IPMI device for BMC reset.
-fde Reset to the factory default. (Clean FRU & LAN)
option: -d | Detected IPMI device for BMC reset.
-ver Get Firmware revision.
-vlan Get VLAN status.
-vlan on <vlan tag> Enable the VLAN and set the VLAN tag.
If VLANtag is not given it uses previously saved value.
