# The sysutils/ipmitool port

## ipmitool-1.8.11 – manage and configure devices that supports IPMI

## Description

    ipmitool is a utility for managing and configuring devices that
    support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface.  IPMI is an
    open standard for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and
    control of hardware that is implemented independent of the main
    CPU, BIOS, and OS.  The service processor (or Baseboard Management
    Controller, BMC) is the brain behind platform management and its
    primary purpose is to handle the autonomous sensor monitoring and
    event logging features.

    The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to
    this BMC.  It features the ability to read the sensor data repository
    (SDR) and print sensor values, display the contents of the System
    Event Log (SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory
    information, read and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform
    remote chassis power control.
