Serial interface
NOTE
It is possible that some properties or resources described in this section are not implemented in iLO 4 and ilo 5.
The Redfish serial interface resource lists physical serial interfaces that allow access to iLO. It allows administrators to configure the baud rate and enable or disable serial access to iLO Command line interface using server physical serial port.
Accessing serial interfaces resource through Redfish
To access the Redfish serial interfaces resource, perform GET on
/redfish/v1/Managers/1/SerialInterfaces/. This collection resource
includes links to the serial interface members
/redfish/v1/Managers/1/SerialInterfaces/{serialInterfaceId}.
Viewing serial interface configuration
To view configuration information on a specific member from the serial
interfaces collection, perform GET on
/redfish/v1/Managers/1/SerialInterfaces/{serialInterfaceId}.
This resource provides configurable information on the following:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| InterfaceEnabled | Boolean | An indication of whether this interface is enabled |
| BitRate | Enum (Bitrate) |
The receive and transmit rate of data flow, typically in bits per second (bit/s), over the serial connection |
The Bitrate enum can take the following values -
"9600", "19200", "38400", "57600", "115200"
> curl https://{iLO}/redfish/v1/Managers/1/SerialInterfaces/{serialInterfaceId} -i --insecure -L{
"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#SerialInterface.SerialInterface",
"@odata.etag": "W/\"0CFA12DC\"",
"@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Managers/1/SerialInterfaces/1",

}Configuring serial interface through Redfish PATCH
To modify the serial interface configuration, perform a PATCH on
/redfish/v1/Managers/1/SerialInterfaces/{serialInterfaceId}.
PATCH /redfish/v1/Managers/1/SerialInterfaces/{serialInterfaceId}{
"InterfaceEnabled" : true,
"BitRate" : "9600"
}
