Supported Remote Access Connections

The following table lists the supported Remote Access Connections.

Table 1. Supported Remote Access Connections

Connection Features

CMC Network Interface ports

• Gb ports: Dedicated network interface for the CMC web interface.

The CMC has two RJ-45 Ethernet ports:

– Gb1 (the uplink port)

– Gb2 (the stacking or cable consolidation port). The STK/Gb2 port

can also be used for CMC NIC failover.

NOTE: Ensure that the CMC setting is changed from default

Stacking to Redundant to implement NIC failover.

CAUTION: Connecting the STK/Gb2 port to the

management network will have unpredictable results if the

CMC setting is not changed from default Stacking to

Redundant, to implement NIC failover. In the default

Stacking mode, cabling the Gb1 and STK/Gb2 ports to the

same network (broadcast domain) can cause a broadcast

storm. A broadcast storm can also occur if the CMC setting

is changed to Redundant mode, but the cabling is daisy

chained between chassis in the Stacking mode. Ensure that

the cabling model matches the CMC setting for the

intended usage.

• DHCP support.

• SNMP traps and e-mail event notification.

• Network interface for the iDRAC and I/O Modules (IOMs).

• Support for Telnet/SSH command console and RACADM CLI

commands including system boot, reset, power-on, and shutdown

commands.

Serial port

• Support for serial console and RACADM CLI commands including

system boot, reset, power-on, and shutdown commands.

• Support for binary interchange for applications specifically designed

to communicate with a binary protocol to a particular type of IOM.

• Serial port can be connected internally to the serial console of a

server, or I/O module, using the connect (or racadm connect)

command.
