Table 24. Terminal Mode Text Commands
Command Switches Description
-U USERNAME
<password>
Used to activate a terminal mode session. USERNAME corresponds to
the ASCII text for the username. <password> represents a printable
password (up to 16 characters). If <password> is not provided, then a
null password (all binary 0) is submitted. Passwords are case sensitive.
Either the SYS PWD command (or Activate Session IPMI message)
must be successfully executed before any command or IPMI messages
are accepted. Note that a modem connection may be automatically
dropped if multiple bad passwords are entered.
-N
<password>
-N represents a Null username. <password> represents a printable
password (up to 16 characters). If <password> is not provided, then a
null password (all binary 0) is submitted. Passwords are case sensitive.
Either the SYS PWD command (or Activate Session IPMI message)
must be successfully executed before any command or IPMI messages
are accepted. Note that a modem connection may be automatically
dropped if multiple bad passwords are entered.
SYS PWD
-X -X immediately logs out any presently active session. Entering an invalid
password with -U or -N also has the same effect.
SYS TMODE Used as a no-op confirm that Terminal Mode is active. BMC returns an
OK response followed by TMODE.
SYS SET
BOOT XX
YY ZZ AA
BB
Sets the boot flags to direct a boot to the specified device following the
next IPMI command or action initiated reset or power-on. XX…BB
represent five hex-ASCII encoded bytes, which are the boot flags
parameter in the Boot Option Parameters. See Table 25 for information.
Upon receiving this command, the BMC automatically sets the valid bit in
the boot options and sets all the Boot Initiator Acknowledge data bits to
1b.
SYS SET
BOOTOPT
XX YY…NN
This is essentially a text version of the IPMI Set System Boot Options
command. It allows any of the boot option parameters to be set, not just
the boot flags. XX YY…NN represent the hex-ASCII encoding for the
data bytes that are passed in the Set System Boot Options request. See
Table 25 for information.
XX - Parameter valid
[7] - 1b = Mark parameter invalid / locked
0b = Mark parameter valid / unlocked
[6:0] - Boot option parameter selector
YY…NN -– Boot Option Parameter Data
Passing 0-bytes of parameter data allows the parameter valid bit to be
changed without affecting the present parameter setting.
