Terminal Mode IPMI Message Bridging
Terminal mode supports the ability to bridge IPMI messages to another interface when binary hex-
ASCII IPMI commands are used. The message bridge is determined by the following: the bridge eld,
whether the message is a request or a response, the message direction with respect to the BMC
and the LUN. Table 25 lists the supported BMC combinations for IPMI message bridging. Any other
combinations are unsupported.
Note that IPMI messages to and from the system interface are transferred using the BMC SMS
(System Management Software) LUN, 10b, and with the bridge eld set to 00b.
