Pigeon Point Systems (PPS) Extension Commands
The IPMC firmware supports a set of PPS extension commands that are used to control and
monitor the Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) state over the serial debug
interface. These commands are used to read the IPMC status, implement graceful payload
shutdown, etc.
The PPS extension commands are implemented as OEM IPMI commands with network
function codes 2Eh/2Fh and message body transferred in the same manner as for raw IPMI
messages (see
“Raw IPMI Messages,” on page 68 ). Figure 4-1, “PPS Extension Command
Request,” shows an example of a PPS extension command request:

Figure 4-2, “PPS Extension Command Response,” shows an example of a PPS extension
command response:

Terminal Mode Line Editing

Specification (section 13.8) .
