IPMI
This screen contains two sections: IPMI Serial and IPMI Settings.
IPMI Serial
There are four serial configuration in IPMI Serial: Connection Mode Settings, Baud Rate, Flow
Control, 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 and Flow Control 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. The following table shows the 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.
