…XCC, Supermicro) Document the validated per-vendor procedure to enable IPMI-over-LAN and Serial-over-LAN, the cipher suite each vendor requires (Supermicro 3, Lenovo XCC 17, Dell iDRAC 3 or 17), the workaround-flags presets, and ready-to-use Guacamole connection examples, plus a troubleshooting section keyed to the common RMCP+/cipher/encryption-policy errors.
…uration chapter Document all IPMI connection parameters in the standard configuration reference: network (hostname/port/timeout), authentication and encryption (username, password, k-g, privilege-level, cipher-suite, encryption-policy, workaround-flags), the SOL session (sol-payload-instance, keepalive-interval), and power/boot control (power-on-connect, boot-device, boot-device-persistent), plus the Ctrl+] control menu (power actions, status, identify, SEL viewer, break). Cross-references the shared terminal/recording/typescript/clipboard features and the per-vendor BMC configuration guide.
Note that Ctrl+] control-menu operations open a short BMC management session that runs in the background, keeping the serial console responsive, with a 'working...' indicator and one operation at a time.

* Remove the "port" connection parameter; it was dropped from the IPMI module, as both libipmiconsole and libfreeipmi hardwire 623/UDP. * Correct the list of non-encrypting cipher suites refused by the "required" encryption policy: suite 8 provides confidentiality (AES-CBC-128) and is allowed, while suite 16 provides none and is refused. The list is now 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 11, 15, and 16.
