• Provides a text-based
interface for platform control
– Provides an SOL character
stream
– Configures IPMI-over-LAN

• Runs as a small program

CLI Command Parser
The CLI platform control interface provides functionality similar to the DPC console. The platform control commands
interpret command strings within the network proxy, translating them to standard IPMI-over-LAN frames, and sending
them to the BMC in the same fashion as the DPC console.
In addition to platform control, the CLI provides the interface to the SOL character stream. The SOL and IPMI platform
control interfaces use different IPMI sessions. For this reason, the CLI interface is modal and under the control of the
user. When in platform control mode, the CLI displays a unique prompt that tells the user it is in platform control mode.
When in the SOL mode, the CLI does not display a prompt, and all information displayed comes directly from the SOL
character stream.
To allow access from Telnet style programs, primary serial over LAN (SOL) and CLI services are implemented as a
background network task, called the network proxy. The network proxy can run on individual management workstations
or it can be a centralized service available to any management workstation.
A thin veneer program known as dppcli provides the command shell interface to the proxy. This program connects the
network proxy to console stdin and stdout for scripting purposes. The dpccli program must run from the command shell
of the management workstation, which can be running Windows* or Linux*.
SOL and command line interface (CLI) are complementary features of the Intel Server Management software package,
but each is independent of the other.
