BMC Remote Management Console | 85

IPMI

This screen contains two sections: IPMI Serial and IPMI Settings.

IPMI Serial

There are three serial configuration in IPMI Serial: Connection Mode Settings, Baud Rate, 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 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. Table 3 lists the currently
defined User Privilege Levels.

Table 5-1. User Privilege Levels

User

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.
