SMBridge 2.0

SMBridge is a handy utility used to configure servers.
There are two ways to use the SMBridge utility: as telnet server and as a direct command-line interface to the BMC. Only the telnet server function offers the remote text control feature. As a telnet server, SMBridge is started as a background service (for Windows) or daemon (for Linux) on a system on your network. This is typically not the server with the BMC. You initially connect to the telnet server, then from there you connect to the BMC via the server Ethernet port. This is shown in the figure below.
