Conguring Services

You can congure and enable the following services on CMC:

• CMC Serial console — Enable access to CMC using the serial console.

• Web Server — Enable access to CMC Web interface. If you disable the option, use local RACADM to re-enable the Web Server,

since disabling the Web Server also disables remote RACADM.

• SSH — Enable access to CMC through rmware RACADM.

• Telnet — Enable access to CMC through rmware RACADM

• RACADM — Enable access to CMC using RACADM.

• 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 congured 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 certicate (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.
