7.6.6 IPMI
Figure 70: IPMI Settings
This link refers to the page that can be used to set up the IPMI settings of the Intel
®
RMM2
module. This is used to configure how the Intel
®
RMM2 communicates with the motherboard’s
BMC, and how you can access the BMC with the help of the Intel
®
RMM2.
IPMI Channel 3 Settings
The Intel
®
RMM2 can act as LAN channel 3 for the onboard BMC. You can specify here
whether this functionality is enabled or not. Also, you can configure whether the anonymous
IPMI user shall be enabled by default over this channel. You can also configure which
authentication types are allowed over this channel. Note that the channel is not accessible if all
authentication types are disabled.
Note: When you establish IPMI communication with channel 3, the BMC handles the
authentication, so the BMC account needs to be enabled first. The Intel
®
Deployment Assistant
(IDA) and SYSCFG utility can help setup the BMC. If you want to enable other BMC accounts
(except an anonymous account) on channel 3, Intel
®
Deployment Assistant and the SYSCFG
utility are needed to configure the BMC.
