How to get the security setting details using SUM utility

Hi Team,

I would like to get the current security settings enabled details for a node using SUM utility.
I know that security settings can be get/set using ILO rest tool, Please let me know how to get/set the same details using SUM utility.
Appreciate your great support!

Hi Nithya_g,

If you are refering to the SUM and ILO communication security sesstings you can see the documentation from the SUM userguide:

iLO 5 Gen10 security states
When you add a Gen10 node to SUM, communication between the iLO and host operating system occurs
over the CHIF interface. Depending on the iLO security state, the communication operates in the
following modes:
Normal mode (Production mode)
In normal mode, communication is not encrypted.
Secure mode
In secure mode, communication between the iLO and host operating system is encrypted, authorized,
and authenticated.
If SUM finds that a node is using FIPS security mode, SUM does not update that node. Update the node
before activating FIPS mode.

But if you looking to set the ILO security settings it cant be done from HPE SUM. With SUM you can only deploy firmwares to local and remote nodes. For more information you can refer to the HPE SUM user guide from the link below:
