IPMI

The IPMI page contains two tabs: IPMI Serial and IPMI Settings.

IPMI Serial

There are three serial configuration in IPMI Serial: Connection Mode Settings,
Baud Rate, and Channel Privilege Level Limit.

The Connection Mode Settings allows user to select the Console redirection type
and to manage the system from a remote location.

Once the connection mode is set, select the Baud Rate from the drop-down list.

With Channel Privilege Level Limit, users can be configured to operate with a
particular maximum Privilege Level. Privilege levels tell the BMC which
commands are allowed to be executed.

Table 3-1. Channel Privilege Level

Users

This may be considered the lowest privilege level.

Operator

All BMC commands are allowed, except for configuration
commands that can change the behavior of the out-of-band
interfaces. For example, Operator privilege does not allow the
capability to disable individual channels, or change user access
privileges.

Administrator

All BMC commands are allowed, including configuration
commands. An Administrator can even execute configuration
commands that would disable the channel that the Administrator is
communicating over.

IPMI Settings

IPMI Settings provides remote configuration over LAN. To activate IPMI
remote configuration by LAN, select the Enable IPMI Over LAN option, define
the Channel Privilege Level Limit, and enter the Encryption Key.

When you finish the configuration, click Apply Changes.
