Creating IPMI User Accounts

An IPMI username and password are required to connect to a remote IPMI interface. You can define new IPMI user accounts using the CLI.

To create an IPMI user account:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures an IPMI interface.
    user@host# edit system ipmi
  2. Set a plain-text password that is autoencrypted by the CLI.
    [edit system ipmi]
    user@host# set user name plain-text-password

    For example:

    user@host#set user johndoe plain-text password
    New password: xyz123 (text will not appear)
    Re-type new password: xyz123 (text will not appear)
  3. Verify the configuration.
    [edit system ipmi]
    admin@gnome# show
    address 10.227.1.145/24;
    gateway 10.227.7.1;
    user admin {
    encrypted-password ********;
    }
    user jdoe {
    encrypted-password ********;
    }
