Users Guide

NOTE: To activate IPMI SOL, you must have the minimum privilege defined in IMPI SOL. For more information, see the
IPMI 2.0 specification.
3. Update the IPMI SOL baud rate using the command.
racadm set iDRAC.IPMISol.BaudRate <baud_rate>
NOTE: To redirect the serial console over LAN, make sure that the SOL baud rate is identical to the managed system’s
baud rate.
Parameter Allowed values (in bps)
<baud_rate>
9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200.
4. Enable SOL for each user using the command.
racadm set iDRAC.Users.<id>.SolEnable 2
Parameter Description
<id>
Unique ID of the user
NOTE: To redirect the serial console over LAN, ensure that the SOL baud rate is identical to the baud rate of the managed
system.
Enabling supported protocol
The supported protocols are IPMI and SSH.
Enabling supported protocol using web interface
To enable SSH, go to iDRAC Settings > Services and select Enabled for SSH.
To enable IPMI, go to iDRAC Settings > Connectivity and select IPMI Settings. Make sure that the Encryption Key value is
all zeroes or press the backspace key to clear and change the value to NULL characters.
Enabling supported protocol using RACADM
To enable the SSH, use the following command.
SSH
racadm set iDRAC.SSH.Enable 1
To change the SSH port
racadm set iDRAC.SSH.Port <port number>
You can use tools such as:
● IPMItool for using IPMI protocol
● Putty/OpenSSH for using SSH protocol
SOL using IPMI protocol
The IPMI-based SOL utility and IPMItool use RMCP+ delivered using UDP datagrams to port 623. The RMCP+ provides
improved authentication, data integrity checks, encryption, and the ability to carry multiple types of payloads while using IPMI
2.0. For more information, see http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/manpage.html.
