RMCP
RMCP	20

The RMCP (Remote Management Control Protocol) section of the Alert Standard Format Specification version 2.0 section 3.2.1 allocates two UDP ports for the RMCP server, ports 623 (the Primary RMCP port) and 664 (the Secondary RMCP or Secure port). This implementation of the RMCP server listens for the RMCP packet from the Ethernet interface on only on port 623. When the RMCP packet arrives, the RMCP server decodes the RMCP message. It checks the RMCP packet:

•If it is an invalid version or not valid IPMI RMCP packet, it will drop the packet

•If the message is RMCP ping, it returns the RMCP pong message.

If the session is invalid, not available, duplicated, or out of order, or slots full, it sends the return RMCP error message to the RMCP client.

If the RMCP packet is a valid, it is forwarded on through the CMM interface to the appropriate destination. If the CMM receives an appropriate IPMI response from the RMCP destination, the CMM will return the IPMI response in a properly formatted RMCP message back to the RMCP client over Ethernet.

20.2RMCP Modes

The RMCP server on the CMM may be configured to operate in one of two different modes. The Set RMCP Mode command is used to set the mode. The RMCP modes are shown in Table 86:

Table 86. RMCP Modes

RMCP Mode	Description
	The RMCP feature functionality is fully operational and a RMCP client can initiate a
Full Access	session regardless of the host /server power state and operating system health.This is the
	default system setting.
Disabled	Disables the RMCP functionality. In this mode, the RMCP server discards the requests
	received over the network.
