BMC

LAN Interface

BMC LAN interface in AST2300 is assigned to its Shared Nic
LAN (Default) and a dedicated NIC in the system. IPMI Specifi-
cation v2.0 defines how IPMI messages, encapsulated in
RMCP/RMCP+ packet format, can be sent to and from the
BMC. This capability allows a remote console application to
access the BMC and perform the following operations:
Chassis control: obtain chassis status, reset and power-up

the chassis
Obtain system sensor status

Obtain and Set system boot options

Obtain Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information

Obtain System Event Log (SEL) entries

Obtain Sensor Data Records (SDR)

Set Platform Event Filtering (PEF)

Set LAN configurations

In addition, the BMC supports LAN alerting in the form of SNMP
traps that conform to the IPMI Platform Event Trap (PET) for-
mat.

Session and User

This BMC supports ten (10) user accounts. Each can have a
different user name, password and privilege level. Four
accounts can login simultaneously. The available user privilege
levels are User, Operator, and Administrator.

Serial Over LAN

BMC supports 1 IPMI (Spec v2.0) specific SOL session. BMC
supports redirect data from UART interface.

Time Sync

In BMC design, BMC does not have a local RTC to know what
time it is. Each time the server powers on, BIOS will use Set
SEL Time command to initialize BMC time. The remote console
program interpret this time as pre-initial.

SEL

BMC supports IPMI 1.5/2.0 standard SEL operation. It can keep
SEL log. Event happened in BIOS side will be logged by using
Add SEL Entry command. BMC will store them in FLASH, the
time stamp field will be filled by BMC. When SEL is full, the new
SEL won't be logged but will go through PEF as usual. If AC
powers off, all SELs will remain in NV.
