The default Login ID is ˇ§ADMINˇ¨,,which has the default password of ˇ§ADMINˇ¨. Both the Login ID and Password are case-sensitive.
In the IPMI design, an MD5 algorithm will encrypt the password when itˇ¦s transmitted through the network. (If you are connecting to IPMI 2.0 RMCP+, all the data will be transmited by an encrypted algorithm.) Once the password is confirmed, it will show a CONNECTED symbol, and all available function pages will be shown as seen in Figure 3-2. If the password is invalid, it will show a message in the Status Area that reads ˇ§Unable to activate a session, please check ID and Passwordˇ¨ and a Break symbol will be shown (see Figure 3-3).

In order to reduce overhead on the managed system, all pages will not refresh automatically. The user must refresh manually as needed.
