ipmilan(8)	    IPMI LAN to System Interface Converter	    ipmilan(8)

NAME
       ipmilan - IPMI LAN to System Interface Converter

SYNOPSIS
       ipmilan [-c configfile] [-i ipmidevice] [-d] [-n]

DESCRIPTION
       The  ipmilan  daemon allows an IPMI system interface using the OpenIPMI
       device driver to be accessed using the IPMI 1.5 or 2.0 LAN protocol.

       ipmilan supports the full authentication capabilities of the  IPMI  LAN
       protocol.

       ipmilan	supports multiple IP addresses for fault-tolerance.  Note that
       messages coming in on an address are always sent back out on  the  same
       address they came in.

OPTIONS
       -c config-file
	      Set  the	configuration  file  to	 one other than the default of
	      /etc/ipmi_lan.conf

       -n     Stops  the  daemon  from	forking	 and  detaching	 from the con‐
	      trolling terminal. This is useful for running from init.

       -d     Turns  on	 debugging  to standard output.	 You generally have to
	      use -n with this.

CONFIGURATION
       Configuration is accomplished through the file  /etc/ipmi_lan.conf.   A
       file  with  another  name or path may be specified using the -c option.
       See the ipmi_lan config file man page for more details.

SECURITY
       ipmilan implements normal IPMI security.	 The default is no access  for
       anyone,	so  the	 default  is pretty safe, but be careful what you add,
       because this is access to control your box.  straight and  none	autho‐
       rizations  are  not  recommended, you should probably stick with md2 or
       md5.

SIGNALS
       SIGHUP
	    ipmilan should handle SIGHUP and reread it's configuration	files.
	    However,  it  doesn't  right now.  It might in the future, for now
	    you will have to kill it and restart it.   Clients	should	handle
	    reconnecting in this case.	If they don't, they are broken.

ERROR OUTPUT
       At  startup,  all  error	 output goes to stderr.	 After that, all error
       output goes to syslog.

FILES
       /etc/ipmi_lan.conf

SEE ALSO
       ipmi_lan(5),ipmi_ui(1),openipmish(1)

KNOWN PROBLEMS
       Currently, ipmilan does not implement writing the  config  file.	  IPMI
       commands	 to  change configuration options are accepted, but the perma‐
       nent writing of the changes does not currently work.
