Using the IPMI Tool Set
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) toolset is a command line
interface that allows you to display channel information, print sensor data, and set
LAN configuration parameters. This chapter explains the available IPMI commands.
NOTE
The open source IPMI tool can be downloaded from SourceForge, and compiled on a Linux system.
You can then interact with the ePDU using IPMI protocol through this tool. An example at the Linux command
shell is given as: $ ipmitool −I lan −H 192.168.51.58 −U admin −a channel info.
Channel Commands

the specified privilege level. Possible privilege levels are:
