Terminal Mode Commands 73
Table C-4. Terminal Mode Text Commands
Command Switches Description
SYS PWD -U USERNAME
<password>
Used to activate a terminal mode session. USERNAME
corresponds to the ASCII text for the username. <password>
represents a printable password (up to 16 characters). If
<password> is not provided, then a Null password (all binary 0’s)
is submitted. Passwords are case sensitive.
Either the SYS PWD command (or Activate Session IPMI
message) must be successfully executed before any command or
IPMI messages are accepted. Note that a modem connection may
be automatically dropped if multiple bad passwords are entered.
-N <password> -N represents a Null username. <password> represents a printable
password (up to 16 characters). If <password> is not provided,
then a Null password (all binary 0’s) is submitted. Passwords are
case sensitive.
Either the SYS PWD command (or Activate Session IPMI
message) must be successfully executed before any command or
IPMI messages are accepted. Note that a modem connection may
be automatically dropped if multiple bad passwords are entered.
-X -X immediately logs out any presently active session. Entering an
invalid password with -U or -N also has the same effect.
SYS TMODE Used as a no-op confirm that Terminal Mode is active. The BMC
returns an OK response followed by TMODE.
SYS SET BOOT
XX YY ZZ AA BB
Sets the boot flags to direct a boot to the specified device following
the next IPMI command or action initiated reset or power-on.
XX…BB represent five hex-ASCII encoded bytes, which are the
boot flags parameter in the Boot Option Parameters. See Table C-5
for more information.
Upon receiving this command, the BMC automatically sets the
valid bit in the boot options and sets all the Boot Initiator
Acknowledge data bits to 1b.
