Installing and Setting Up CMC 41
Configuring a Web Browser
You can configure and manage CMC and the servers and modules installed in
the chassis through a Web browser. See the Supported Browsers section in the
Dell Systems Software Support Matrix at support.dell.com/manuals.
Your CMC and the management station where you use your browser must be
on the same network, which is called the management network. Depending
on your security requirements, the management network can be an isolated,
highly secure network.
NOTE: Ensure that security measures on the management network,
such as firewalls and proxy servers, do not prevent your Web browser from
accessing CMC.
Some browser features can interfere with connectivity or performance,
especially if the management network does not have a route to the Internet. If
your management station is running a Windows operating system, some
Internet Explorer settings can interfere with connectivity even though you
use a command line interface to access the management network.
Proxy Server
To browse through a proxy server that does not have access to the
management network, you can add the management network addresses to the
browser’s exception list. This instructs the browser to bypass the proxy server
while accessing the management network.
Internet Explorer
To edit the exception list in Internet Explorer:
1
Start Internet Explorer.
2 Click Tools  Internet Options  Connections .
3 In the Local Area Network (LAN) settings section, click LAN Settings.
4 In the Proxy server section, click Advanced.
5 In the Exceptions section, add the addresses for CMCs and iDRACs on
the management network to the semicolon-separated list. You can use
DNS names and wildcards in your entries.
