Table 26. Terminal Mode Text Commands
Command Switches Description
SYS PWD -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’s) 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’s) 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.
-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 the Boot
Option Parameters Table below for more 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.
