Present Behavior: IPMI 2.0 Management Sessions - Enabled (default setting).
Future Behavior: The following IPMI Management Service changes will occur in a future Oracle ILOM firmware release after firmware version 4.0.2.
First IPMI Service Support Change: The default configuration property for IPMI 2.0 Sessions will change from Enabled to Disabled. Clients relying on Oracle ILOM IPMI 2.0 session support by default will no longer be able to communicate with Oracle ILOM.
To enable IPMI communication with Oracle ILOM, perform one of the following:
Use the Oracle IPMI TLS service and interface. For more information, refer to IPMI TLS Service and Interface in the Oracle ILOM Protocol Management Reference SNMP and IPMI Firmware Release 4.0.x.

Manually enable the configuration property for IPMI 2.0 Session. For details, refer to IPMI Service Configuration Properties in the Oracle ILOM Administrator’s Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 4.0.x.
Second IPMI Service Support Change: Removal of IPMI 2.0 client support.
IPMI 2.0 clients will no longer be able to communicate with Oracle ILOM. Clients relying on IPMI communication will need to use the IPMI TLS service and interface. For more information, refer to IPMI TLS Service and Interface in the Oracle ILOM Protocol Management Reference SNMP and IPMI Firmware Release 4.0.x.
