Advantech OEM commands
Advantech management solutions support extended OEM IPMI command sets,
based on the IPMI defined OEM/Group Network Function (NetFn) Codes 2Eh, 2Fh.
The first three data bytes of IPMI requests and responses under the OEM/Group
Network Function explicitly identify the OEM vendor that specifies the command
functionality. To be more precise, the vendor IANA Enterprise Number for the defining
body occupies the first three data bytes in a request, and the first three data bytes
following the completion code position in a response. Advantech’s IANA Enterprise
Number used for OEM commands is 002839h.
The BMC supports Advantech IPMI OEM commands listed in below table.
