Figure 6-23 Web interface structure

6.6 Telnet interface

In addition to the Web interface described in 6.5, “Web interface” on page 219,

some of the xSeries service processors also have a built-in interface that is

accessible through the following connections, depending on the service

processor:

򐂰 Telnet via Ethernet

򐂰 SSH via Ethernet

򐂰 ANSI terminal via serial

Note: Even though the interface works via telnet, ssh, and via an ANSI

terminal session, we collectively refer to them as telnet for the sake of

simplicity.

Chapter 6. System management utilities 221

The service processors that support these interfaces are:

򐂰 BladeCenter management module

򐂰 Remote Supervisor Adapter II

򐂰 Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine

򐂰 Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA

򐂰 Remote Supervisor Adapter

򐂰 ASM PCI Adapter (telnet and ANSI only)

򐂰 ASM Processor (telnet only via the ASM interconnect network)

The xSeries BMC service processor supports telnet but only via SMBridge, as

discussed in 6.4, “OSA SMBridge utility” on page 192. The eServer BMC does

not support a telnet session.

This interface provides a subset of the management functions that are provided

by the Web interface. Like the other interfaces, you will need to authenticate

before you can issue any commands.

For the RSA II, RSA II SlimLine, and BladeCenter management module service

processors, the Telnet interface is command-line based. Each command has the

following format:

command [arguments] [-options]

Notes:

򐂰 The command syntax is case sensitive.

򐂰 The command name is always lowercase.

򐂰 Options always start with a hyphen.

򐂰 One command per line.

Issuing the command help displays all available commands. Example 6-5 lists

the commands available with the RSA II.
