“Activating SOL”: This command is not accepted by the BMC. It is sent by the BMC when
SOL is activated to notify a remote client of the switch to SOL.
Activating a SOL session requires an existing IPMI-over-LAN session. If encryption is
used, it should be negotiated when the IPMI-over LAN session is established.
Platform Event Filter (PEF)
The BMC includes the ability to generate a selectable action, such as a system power-off or
reset, when a match occurs to one of a configurable set of events. This capability is called
Platform Event Filtering, or PEF. One of the available PEF actions is to trigger the BMC to send
a LAN alert to one or more destinations.
The BMC supports 20 PEF filters. The first twelve entries in the PEF filter table are pre-
configured (but may be changed by the user). The remaining entries are left blank, and may be
configured by the user.
Table 18. Factory Configured PEF Table Entries
Non-critical, critical and non-recoverable
Temperature sensor out of range
Non-critical, critical and non-recoverable
Voltage sensor out of range
Non-critical, critical and non-recoverable

Additionally, the BMC supports the following PEF actions:
Power off
Power cycle
Reset
OEM action
Alerts
The “Diagnostic interrupt” action is not supported.
The BMC supports sending embedded LAN alerts, called SNMP PET (Platform Event traps),
and SMTP email alerts.
The BMC supports a minimum of four LAN alert destinations.
6.12.10.1 SNMP Platform Event Traps (PETs)
This feature enables a target system to send SNMP traps to a designated IP address by means
of LAN. These alerts are formatted per the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
