Installation Manual

Serial Command Line Interface Status
This setting enables you to change the login model of the CLI feature through the serial port.
The following settings are valid:
• Enabled-Authentication Required (default)—Enables access to the SMASH CLP command
line from a terminal connected to the host serial port. Valid iLO user credentials are required.
• Enabled-No Authentication—Enables access to the SMASH CLP command line from a
terminal connected to the host serial port. iLO user credentials are not required.
• Disabled—Disables access to the SMASH CLP command line from the host serial port.
Use this option if you are planning to use physical serial devices.
Serial Command Line Interface Speed
This setting enables you to change the speed of the serial port for the CLI feature.
The following speeds (in bits per second) are valid:
• 9600 (default)
IMPORTANT: For Synergy compute modules only: Ensure that this value is set to 9600.
If you use another value, you cannot access the Serial Command Line Interface from the
Synergy Console and Composer CLI.
• 19200
• 38400—iLO RBSU and the iLO 4 Configuration Utility do not support this value.
• 57600
• 115200
The serial port configuration must be set to no parity, eight data bits, and one stop bit (N/8/1) for
correct operation.
Set this value to match the serial port speed configured in the iLO RBSU or the iLO 4 Configuration
Utility.
Virtual Serial Port Log
This setting enables or disables logging of the Virtual Serial Port.
The following settings are valid:
• Enabled—When enabled, Virtual Serial Port activity is logged to a 150-page circular buffer
in the iLO memory, and can be viewed using the CLI command vsp log. The Virtual Serial
Port buffer size is 128 KB.
• Disabled (default)—Virtual Serial Port activity is not logged.

Minimum Password Length
This setting specifies the minimum number of characters allowed when a user password is set
or changed. The character length must be a value from 0 to 39 characters long. The default value
