BMC SERIAL OVER LAN
4-3
Obtain Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information
Obtain System Event Log (SEL) entries
Obtain Sensor Data Records (SDR)
Set Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
Set LAN configurations
In addition, the BMC supports LAN alerting in the form of SNMP traps that conform to the
IPMI Platform Event Trap (PET) format.
Session and User
This BMC supports ten (10) user accounts. Each can have a different user name, password
and privilege level. Four accounts can login simultaneously. The available user privilege
levels are User, Operator, and Administrator.
Serial Over LAN
BMC supports 1 IPMI (Spec v2.0) specific SOL session. BMC supports redirect data from
UART interface.
Time Sync
In BMC design, BMC does not have a local RTC to know what time it is. Each time BMC will
get the current time from system PCH after BMC boot. The current time is updated period-
ically from the PCH. The remote console program interpret this time as pre-initial.
SEL
BMC supports IPMI 1.5/2.0 standard SEL operation. It can keep SEL log. Event happened in
BIOS side will be logged by using Add SEL Entry command. BMC will store them in FLASH,
the time stamp field will be filled by BMC. When SEL is full, the new SEL won’t be logged
but will go through PEF as usual. If AC powers off, all SELs will remain in NV.
Platform Event
Platform Event Filter
The BMC implements selectable action on an event or LAN alerting base on event. By
default, no any PEF entries or actions exist, applications need to configure it to enable.
Dedicated and Shared NIC
The policy to match an event to Platform Event Filter Table entry is IPMI 1.5 standard.
