Creating an IPMI User Account (SRC CLI)

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 using the SRC CLI:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures an IPMI interface.
user@host# edit system ipmi
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 passwordNew password: xyz123 (text will not appear)Re-type new password: xyz123 (text will not appear)
Verify the configuration.
[edit system ipmi]admin@gnome# showaddress 10.227.1.145/24;gateway 10.227.7.1;
user admin {encrypted-password ********;}
user jdoe {encrypted-password ********;}
