Supermicro IPMIView User's Guide

PublishTime：2022-07-19

●IPMIView (IPMI-Over-LAN) is a management software program based on the IPMI specification Reversion 1.5 -2.0. IPMIView sends IPMI messages to and from the BMC (Base Management Card) on a host system at a remote location.IPMI messages are encapsulated in RMCP (Remote Management Control Protocol) packets called ''datagrams.''This method is also referred to as ''IPMI-over-LAN.''
●According to the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) specification,RMCP is used for system management in a pre-OS or an OS-absent environment.RMCP is a simple request-response protocol that can be delivered using UDP (User Datagram Protocol) datagrams.IPMI-over-LAN uses version 1 of the RMCP protocol and packet format.An RMCP packet is transmitted via an IP (Internet Protocol) network,which allows system managers to manage their IPMI-enabled systems over the Internet.In a private LAN network,this is a basic feature.IPMI uses the same UDP port number (623 in decimal) as the ASF (Alert Standard Forum) protocol.If the managed system is protected by a firewall,UDP port 623 must be opened.
●In Supermicro's IPMI solution,a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) shares the LAN1 NIC on the mainboard.(If there are more than one LAN ports on the mainboard,LAN1 is the one closest to the Keyboard/Mouse port.) The NIC will re-route the IPMI packet to the BMC instead of forwarding it to the upper layer of the network protocol stacks as other protocol packets do.
●IPMIView V2.0 covers Supermicro's BMCs for both IPMI v1.5 and IPMI v2.0.However,due to design changes,some functions may not be available for IPMI v1.5,while others might no longer be available for IPMI v2.0.IPMIView will automatically hide any functions that are not available based on the BMC version used in the system.
