Guidelines

The ipmi-user command enters IPMI User mode. While in the mode, define an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) user.

An IPMI user can create, change, or destroy user authentication records in the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). Authentication records allow users to communicate with IPMI protocols over external channels, such as an IPMI LAN channel. On the IBM® MQ Appliance, there can be eight IPMI users.

Note: If you apply the configuration but do not save it, the IPMI user data is written to the BMC but not saved to the startup configuration. In this situation, the IPMI user can connect to the serial port over the IPMI LAN channel.

Use the no ipmi-user command to remove an IPMI user.
