IPMI This screen contains two sections: IPMI Serial and IPMI Settings.
IPMI Serial
There are three serial configuration in IPMI Serial: Connection Mode Settings, Baud Rate, and Channel
Privilege Level Limit.
The Connection Mode Settings allows user to select the Console redirection type and to manage the
system from a remote location.
Once the connection mode is set, select the Baud Rate from the drop-down list.
With Channel Privilege Level Limit, users can be configured to operate with a particular maximum Privilege
Level. Privilege levels tell the BMC which commands are allowed to be executed. Table 3 lists the currently
defined User Privilege Levels.
Table 3 User Privilege Levels

Administrator can even execute configuration commands that would
disable the channel that the Administrator is communicating over.
