LAN Channel Conﬁguration Screen 2 - Server Management

and Serial Over LAN Setup

This screen allows you to continue to enter the necessary settings to configure the specified LAN

channel.

When this screen is displayed, the settings shown are the current settings for this LAN channel on

the server. The continue button is enabled at all times on this screen.

• Enable LAN Access: Enable LAN Access allows you to enable or disable the LAN access for

the server. When checked, all of the LAN access parameters are enabled and you can set

them to the appropriate values. When not checked, all of the LAN access parameters on this

page are disabled. The state of this option also determines whether Serial Over LAN (SOL) can

be set up. If this option is disabled, SOL cannot be configured and the Enable Serial Over LAN

checkbox is disabled.

• LAN Privilege Level Limit: Privilege Level Limit dropdown list allows you to select a privilege

limit for the channel that is being configured. This privilege level takes precedence over the

user privilege limit. If a channel privilege level is set at User level, for example, then users can

only execute user-level commands, even if the user privilege level is set higher than User. The

meanings of the different privilege level limits are explained below.

• User: Only “benign” commands are allowed. These are primarily commands that read data

structures and retrieve status. Commands that can be used to alter BMC configuration, write

data to the BMC or other management controllers, or perform system actions such as resets,

power on/off, and watchdog activation are disallowed.

• Operator: All BMC commands are allowed, except for configuration commands that can

change the behavior of the out-of-band interfaces. For example, Operator privilege does not

allow the capability to disable individual channels, or change user access privileges.

• Administrator: All BMC commands are allowed, including configuration commands. An

administrator can even execute configuration commands that would disable the channel that

the Administrator is communicating over.

• Enable Serial Over LAN: Allows you to enable or disable the SOL access for the server.

When checked, all of the SOL access parameters are enabled and you can set them to the

appropriate values. When not checked, all of the SOL access parameters on this page are

disabled.

• Serial Over LAN Privilege Level Limit: The SOL Privilege Level Limit dropdown list allows

you to set the SOL privilege level that is required to be able to activate SOL mode using the

Activate SOL command. This privilege level takes precedence over the user privilege limit.

If the privilege level is set at User level, for example, then users can only execute user-level

commands, even if the user privilege level is set higher than User. The possible privilege level

choices are the same as the LAN Privilege levels.

• SOL Number of Retries: The SOL Number of Retries edit box allows you to enter the number

of retries permitted while attempting access in SOL mode. The valid range is from 1 to 7.

• SOL Retry Interval: The SOL Retry Interval edit box allows you to enter a number for

specifying the interval between two retries while attempting access in SOL Mode. The valid

range is from 1 to 255.

• SOL Baud Rate: The SOL Baud Rate dropdown list allows you to set SOL baud rate desired.

The valid choices are 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, 57.6 kbps or 115.2 kbps.
