Enables you to change the login model of the CLI feature through the serial port. The
following settings are valid:
•
Enabled-Authentication Required (default)—Enables access to the SMASH CLP
command line from a terminal connected to the host serial port. Valid iLO user credentials
are required.
• Enabled-No Authentication—Enables access to the SMASH CLP command line from a
terminal connected to the host serial port. iLO user credentials are not required.
• Disabled—Disables access to the SMASH CLP command line from the host serial port. Use
this option if you are planning to use physical serial devices.

Set this value to match the serial port speed configured in the UEFI System Utilities.
