LAN Interface
BMC LAN interface in AST2300 is assigned to its Shared NIC
LAN and a dedicated NIC (Default) in S210-X12MS. IPMI Spec-
ification v2.0 defines how IPMI messages, encapsulated in
RMCP/RMCP+ packet format, can be sent to and from the
BMC. This capability allows a remote console application to
access the BMC and perform the following operations:

Chassis control: obtain chassis status, reset and power-up
the chassis

Obtain system sensor status

Obtain and Set system boot options

Obtain Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information

Obtain System Event Log (SEL) entries

Obtain Sensor Data Records (SDR)

Set Platform Event Filtering (PEF)

Set LAN configurations
In addition, the BMC supports LAN alerting in the form of SNMP
traps that conform to the IPMI Platform Event Trap (PET) for-
mat.
Session and User
This BMC supports ten (10) user accounts. Each can have a
different user name, password and privilege level. Four
accounts can login simultaneously. The available user privilege
levels are User, Operator, and Administrator.
Serial Over LAN
BMC supports 1 IPMI (Spec v2.0) specific SOL session. BMC
supports redirect data from UART interface.
Time Sync
In S210-X12MS BMC design, BMC does not have a local RTC
for time function. Each time the server is powered on, BIOS
uses Set SEL Time command to initialize BMC time. The
remote console program interprets this time as pre-initial.
SEL
BMC supports IPMI 1.5/2.0 standard SEL operation. It can keep
to maximum 909 entries SEL log. Event happened in BIOS side
will be logged by using Add SEL Entry command. BMC will
store them in FLASH, the time stamp field will be filled by BMC.
When SEL is full, the new SEL won’t be logged but will go
through PEF as usual. If AC powers off, all SELs will remain in
NV.
