Connecting to a Serial Console Using IPMI Serial over LAN (SOL)

IPMI SOL enables a remote user to monitor and manage a C Series Controller through a serial console by means of an IPMI session. IPMI SOL redirects the C Series Controller's serial port input and output over IP. To connect to a remote serial console using IPMI SOL, the remote system must have IPMI configured. Only one IPMI SOL connection is allowed per IPMI interface.

To connect to a serial host using IPMI SOL:

• From operational mode, enter the ipmisol open command to connect to a serial console.

  user@host>ipmisol open host host user user

  • host—IP address of remote host IPMI interface
  • user—IPMI user name configured in the remote host

  For example:

  user@host>ipmisol open host 10.10.10.30 user johndoe

To exit from the current IPMI SOL session, enter ~.
