136 Using Console Redirection
Keyboard, Video, and Mouse Encryption
The DRAC 4 firmware version 1.40 and later provides RC4 128-bit encryption
for your keyboard, video, and mouse functions. This encryption feature
provides a secure environment when transmitting data and video to and from
the DRAC 4 in the managed system. All keyboard and mouse functions are
encrypted by default.
To enable 128-bit video encryption, use the following racadm CLI command:
racadm config -g cfgRacTuning -o
cfgRacTuneConRedirEncryptEnable 1
To disable 128-bit video encryption, use the following racadm CLI command:
racadm config -g cfgRacTuning -o
cfgRacTuneConRedirEncryptEnable 0
See "cfgRacTuneConRedirEncryptEnable (Read/Write)" for more information.
