Serial Over LAN
6.1
Overview
Serial Over LAN (SOL) is a mechanism that you can use to redirect the serial console from the
blade via an IPMI session over the network. SOL uses the RMCP+ protocol.
The IPMC is used to establish and control the SOL session. SOL is only available on the base
interface. The sideband interface of the Intel 82576 (in pass-through mode) is used to
transmit/receive its terminal characters via the base interface.
You can configure the SOL parameters using the standard IPMI commands or via an open
source tool called "ipmitool".
