# The sysutils/freeipmi port

## freeipmi-1.6.17 – IPMI library and tools (in- and out-of-band)

## Description

    FreeIPMI provides a library and tools to access IPMI Base Management
    Controllers, either in-band (host) or out-of-band (LAN etc), based on
    the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification.

    In-band requires that kernel ipmi device be enabled. This is present in
    standard kernels but not enabled by default, this can be modified with
    "boot -c" or config(8). (This can be useful when configuring the local
    BMC, e.g. using ipmi-config to adjust or disable network access or
    remove vendor default usernames).

    ipmi-chassis	manage/monitor a chassis (power, ID LED, status)
    ipmi-config	configure BMC/IPMI usernames, network, security,
