Intel NetStructure MPCBL0001 - Manual (Page 160)

160 Intel NetStructure ® MPCBL0001 Technical Product Specification
Serial Over Lan (SOL)
IP and MAC addresses supplied to the IPMC are specified on the command line as specified in
Table 104 . IP source is set to “static” and the subnet mask is set for a class C subnet. The Gateway
IP and MAC address should be specified in the command to enable RMCP communication across
subnets. If the IP or MAC address options are missing from the command line, those parameters
will not be changed on the IPMC.
If VLAN (802.1q) is being used, then the 12 bit VLAN ID must be configured and bit 7 of the
VLAN ID MSB must be set. When VLAN is enabled, all incoming packets must have a VLAN ID
matching the configured 12 bit VLAN ID value. Incoming packets without a VLAN header will be
dropped when VLAN is enabled. The priority field in incoming VLAN packets is ignored. All
outgoing packets will have the specified VLAN ID and priority values inserted into the MAC
header.
11.7.4 SOL Parameters
The SOL payload type is enabled with a privilege level of operator. Neither payload encryption nor
payload authentication is forced. Serial characters are accumulated for as long as 40 milliseconds
or as many as 50 characters. SOL packets are retried every 100 milliseconds, up to seven times.
The SOL bit rate is 9.6 kbps.
11.7.5 Channel Parameters
Channel 1 is configured as “always available”, meaning that all RMCP traffic to the SBC LAN
adaptor is routed exclusively to the IPMC and not to system software.
For channel 1, User2 is enabled for general IPMI messaging (as opposed to SOL only messaging).
User2 has a privilege level of operator on channel 1.
11.7.6 Command Line Options
Available command-line options for the reference script are given in the following table.
Table 104. SOL Configuration Reference Script Command-line Options
Option Meaning
-h “help” - display usage, version number and a list of options. When this option is specified, all other
options are ignored.
-l “location” - specifies which blade to configure. When running on an Intel NetStructure
MPCMM0001 Chassis Management Module (CMM), this value should be one of
[“blade1”...“blade14”]. When running on a remote node, this value should be the IPMB address.
When running on the local processor, this option is ignored.
-m
“MAC” - specifies what MAC address should be used to configure the blade. The MAC address
should be given in the form ##:##:##:##:##:## where “##” is a hexadecimal number from 00 to FF.
NOTE:
The MAC address must match the actual MAC address of the LAN adaptor.
-i “IP” - specifies which IP address should be used to configure the blade. The IP address should be
given in the form ###.###.###.### where “###” is a decimal number from 0 to 255
-j Specifies the IP address of the subnet’s gateway.
-n Specifies the MAC address of the subnet’s gateway.
-g “Gratuitous ARPs" - Turns on gratuitous ARPs. This switch must be specified for the MPCBL0001
blade.
