USER GUIDE

IPMI over Serial - If your host system supports IPMI V1.5 and has an Intel EMP (Emergency Management Port, usually COM2) connector, you can connect IPMI through serial port 1 on IP Extender. Please note:

Set the EMP port to Always enable and switch off the Restricted Mode.

The BMC should accept a null username and a non-null password account as login.

Passwords are 4 -16 characters long.

Use a null modem cable for connection

IPMI over LAN - You can connect the IPMI over a LAN connection. You need a host system with IPMI V1.5 and a network adapter with a sideband connection to the BMC (mostly on board). In the IPMI Settings, enter the IP-address of this host system and the correct password for the LAN connection.

You can also access other IPMI systems when you enter their IP address.

76.LDAP Settings

You can keep authentication information in a central LDAP directory.

From the IP Extender Menu choose LDAP Settings. The LDAP Settings appears. See Figure 34.

Figure 34 LDAP Settings

User LDAP Server - Enter the name or IP address of the LDAP server containing all the user entries. If you use a name, configure a DNS server in the network settings.

Base DN of User LDAP Server - Specify the distinguished name (DN) where the directory tree starts in the user LDAP server.
