S2600GZ and S2600GL

Platform Management Functional Overview Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS
6.10.10.1
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 Specification Second Generation v2.0.
A Modular Information Block (MIB) file associated with the traps is provided with the BMC firmware to facilitate
interpretation of the traps by external software. The format of the MIB file is covered under RFC 2578.
6.10.11
Alert Policy Table
Associated with each PEF entry is an alert policy that determines which IPMI channel the alert is to be sent.
There is a maximum of 20 alert policy entries. There are no pre-configured entries in the alert policy table
because the destination types and alerts may vary by user. Each entry in the alert policy table contains four
bytes for a maximum table size of 80 bytes.
6.10.11.1
E-mail Alerting
The Embedded Email Alerting feature allows the user to receive e-mails alerts indicating issues with the server.
This allows e-mail alerting in an OS-absent (for example, Pre-OS and OS-Hung) situation. This feature
provides support for sending e-mail by means of SMTP, the Simple Mail Transport Protocol as defined in
Internet RC 821. The e-mail alert provides a text string that describes a simple description of the event. SMTP
alerting is configured using the embedded web server.
6.10.12
SM-CLP (SM-CLP Lite)
SMASH refers to Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware. SMASH is defined by a suite of
specifications, managed by the DMTF, that standardize the manageability interfaces for server hardware. CLP
refers to Command Line Protocol. SM-CLP is defined by the Server Management Command Line Protocol
Specification (SM-CLP) ver1.0, which is part of the SMASH suite of specifications. The specifications and
further information on SMASH can be found at the DMTF website (http://www.dmtf.org/
).
The BMC provides an embedded “lite” version of SM-CLP that is syntax-compatible but not considered fully
compliant with the DMTF standards.
The SM-CLP utilized by a remote user by connecting a remote system from one of the system NICs. It is
possible for third party management applications to create scripts using this CLP and execute them on server
to retrieve information or perform management tasks such as reboot the server, configure events, and so on
The BMC embedded SM-CLP feature includes the following capabilities:
 Power on/off/reset the server.
 Get the system power state.
 Clear the System Event Log (SEL).
 Get the interpreted SEL in a readable format.
 Initiate/terminate an Serial Over LAN session.
 Support “help” to provide helpful information
 Get/set the system ID LED.
 Get the system GUID
 Get/set configuration of user accounts.
 Get/set configuration of LAN parameters.
 Embedded CLP communication should support SSH connection.
 Provide current status of platform sensors including current values. Sensors include voltage, temperature,
fans, power supplies, and redundancy (power unit and fan redundancy).
The embedded web server is supported over any system NIC port that is enabled for server management
capabilities.
6.10.13
Embedded Web Server
BMC Base manageability provides an embedded web server and an OEM-customizable web GUI which
exposes the manageability features of the BMC base feature set. It is supported over all on-board NICs that
