Serial Over LAN Conguration
The Serial Over LAN screen is displayed after you click Next on the LAN Alert Conguration screen.
The Serial Over LAN screen, shown in the following diagram, allows you to congure the operation
of the serial over LAN capability of the BMC.
The SMU sets up the SOL conguration such that SOL packets do not have to be authenticated. This
enhances the performance of an SOL session.

After conguring the Serial Over LAN information, click Save to complete this sub-task.
Enable Serial Over LAN
This check box is used to enable or disable the serial over LAN capability.
SOL Privilege Level
This setting is used to select the minimum operating privilege level that is required to be able to
activate SOL. The choices are User, Operator, and Administrator. For the best performance, User
should be selected.
Number of Retries
This eld sets the number of times that the BMC tries to resend a SOL message to a remote
console.
The number of retries must between 0 and 7.
Retry Interval
This eld sets the number of milliseconds that the BMC waits between trying to send SOL messages
to a remote client.
The value entered must be between 0 and 2559. The SMU truncates the digit in the ones column from
any input number because the rmware maintains this value in 10 millisecond intervals. Therefore,
any value that is entered between 0 and 9 is displayed as 0.
Baud Rate
This eld sets the baud rate at which serial data is transferred by the BMC when SOL is active. The
choices are Default IPMI, 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, 57.6, and 115.2 kbps. If Default IPMI is
selected, the baud rate used is the rate currently set for BIOS serial redirection. When SOL is active,
serial communication with the BMC always occurs with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and RTS/CTS
(hardware) ow control.
