Advanced Features Conﬁguration Screen 2: HTTP Settings

This screen allows you to continue the configuration of the Advanced Features on this server, by

configuring the HTTP and HTTPS settings.

The HTTP module accepts requests via HTTP on a user-configurable port (default port is 80). Two

interface styles are supported via the network interface:

• Browser Interface: The “browser interface” style presents web pages to the user, who may

click buttons or enter text values in order to interact with the server.

• Program Interface: The “program interface” style accepts requests using a more traditional

HTTP GET/POST mechanism for presenting requests. Responses are returned wrapped in

XML and are designed for ease of parsing by software, not necessarily for ease of display.

The following options are available on this screen:

• Enable HTTP: When the HTTP server is disabled, it closes all open sockets so that the

network stack will not accept incoming HTTP connections. It also suspends itself so that the

HTTP thread will not run. When the HTTP server is enabled, it will wake up the HTTP thread,

which will open its sockets. If this feature is disabled, none of the other fields is editable.

• HTTP Port: The HTTP Port edit box allows the HTTP port number for this server to be set. The

HTTP port is the port on which the TCP/IP connection is made. The default is 80. The valid

range is 1 to 65535.

• HTTP Host Name: The HTTP Host Name edit box allows the HTTP Host Name for this server

to be set. The HTTP Host Name is the domain name of the system.

• Enable HTTPS: When the HTTPS server is disabled, it closes all open sockets so that the

network stack will not accept incoming HTTPS connections. When the HTTPS server is

enabled, it will wake up the HTTPS thread, which will open its sockets. If this feature is

disabled, none of the other fields are editable.

• HTTPS Port: The HTTPS Port edit box allows the HTTPS Port number for this server to be set.

The HTTPS port is the port on which the SSL connection is made. The default is 80. The valid

range is 1 to 65535.

Advanced Features Conﬁguration Screen 3: SMTP Alert

Settings

This screen allows you to continue the configuration of the Advanced Features on this server by

configuring the SMTP alert settings.

The BMC Email Alerting feature provides a way for IPMI alerts to be delivered via email as well as

the IPMI standard alerting methods. This allows email alerting in an operating system-independent

and operating system-absent fashion, such as before the operating system is loaded and in case

the operating system hangs. The BMC provides support for sending mail via SMTP, the Simple Mail

Transport Protocol.

• Sender Machine Name: The Sender Machine Name edit box is where the name of this server

goes. This name is used in the email so that the recipient knows what machine the email is

coming from.

• From Address: The From Address edit box is where the email address of where the emails

are coming from, so that the recipient can tell who the email is from.

• To Address: The To Address edit box is the email address of where the emails are being sent

to.

• Subject: The Mail Subject edit box is where the subject of the email can be entered.
