Users Guide

• SNMP — Enable CMC to send SNMP traps for events.

• Remote Syslog — Enable CMC to log events to a remote server.

NOTE: When modifying CMC service port numbers for SSH, Telnet, HTTP, or HTTPS, avoid using ports commonly used

by OS services such as port 111. See Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) reserved ports at http://

www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml.

CMC includes a Web server that is configured to use the industry-standard SSL security protocol to accept and transfer encrypted

data from and to clients over the Internet. The Web server includes a Dell self-signed SSL digital certificate (Server ID) and is

responsible for accepting and responding to secure HTTP requests from clients. This service is required by the Web interface and

remote RACADM CLI tool for communicating with CMC.

If the Web server resets, wait at least one minute for the services to become available again. A Web server reset usually happens as

a result of any of the following events:

• Network configuration or network security properties are changed through the CMC Web user interface or RACADM.

• Web Server port configuration is changed through the Web user interface or RACADM.

• CMC is reset.

• A new SSL server certificate is uploaded.

NOTE: To modify Service settings, you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

Remote syslog is an additional log target for CMC. After you configure the remote syslog, each new log entry generated by CMC is

forwarded to the destination(s).

NOTE: Since the network transport for the forwarded log entries is UDP, there is no guaranteed delivery of log entries,

nor is there any feedback to CMC whether the log entries were received successfully.

Configuring Services Using CMC Web Interface

To configure CMC services using CMC Web interface:

1. In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Network → Services. The Services page is displayed.

2. Configure the following services as required:

• CMC serial console

• Web server

• SSH

• Telnet

• Remote RACADM

• SNMP

• Remote Syslog

For information about the fields, see CMC Online Help.

3. Click Apply, and then update all default time outs and maximum time out limits.

Configuring Services Using RACADM

To enable and configure the various services, use the following RACADM objects:

• cfgRacTuning

• cfgRacTuneRemoteRacadmEnable

For more information about these objects, see Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command

Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

If the firmware on the server does not support a feature, configuring a property related to that feature displays an error. For

example, using RACADM to enable remote syslog on an unsupported iDRAC displays an error message.
