11.2.1. SOL Overview

Figure 11-9 Serial-over-LAN Diagram


Serial-over-LAN (SOL) is an IPMI v2.0-defined capability that allows establishing a
virtual serial console with the payload over LAN. It uses the RMCP+ protocol to
encapsulate serial data in network packets and pass them between the BMC and
remote console.

Check base switch configuration if both IPMC port and Management port you designed
are up. An example in this chapter uses front port as the management port as shown
below. For base switch configuration, please refer to Section 8.3.12.

11.2.2. SOL Commands


The ipmitool utility can be used (among other things) to read/write the SOL
Configuration Parameters, and also to establish an SOL session with the payload.

To be able to send SOL commands to the IPMC, proper connection options must be
specified on the ipmitool command line.

The ipmitool commands that can be used to manage the SOL Configuration
Parameters and establish an SOL session are listed below.
