212 Configuring Security Features
Enabling Additional DRAC 5 Security Options
To prevent unauthorized access to your remote system, the DRAC 5 provides
the following features:
• IP address filtering (IPRange) — Defines a specific range of IP addresses
that can access the DRAC 5.
• IP address blocking — Limits the number of failed login attempts from a
specific IP address
These features are disabled in the DRAC 5 default configuration. Use the
following subcommand or the Web-based interface to enable these features:
racadm config -g cfgRacTuning -o
<object_name> <value>
Additionally, use these features in conjunction with the appropriate session
idle time-out values and a defined security plan for your network.
The following subsections provide additional information about these features.
IP Filtering (IpRange)
IP address filtering (or IP Range Checking ) allows DRAC 5 access only from
clients or management workstations whose IP addresses are within a user-
specific range. All other logins are denied.
