Advanced Configuration of the DRAC 5 61
Connecting to the Managed System Through the
Local Serial Port or Telnet Management Station
(Client System)
The managed system provides access between the DRAC 5 and the serial port
on your system to enable you to power on, power off, or reset the managed
system, and access logs.
The serial console is available on the DRAC 5 through the managed system
external serial connector. Only one serial client system (management station)
may be active at any given time. The telnet and SSH consoles are available on
the DRAC 5 through the DRAC modes (see "DRAC Modes"). Up to four
telnet client systems and four SSH clients may connect at any given time.
The management station connection to the managed system serial or telnet
console requires management station terminal emulation software. See
"Configuring the Management Station Terminal Emulation Software" for
more information.
The following subsections explain how to connect your management station
to the managed system using the following methods:
• A managed system external serial port using terminal software and a DB-9
or a null modem cable
• A telnet connection using terminal software through the managed system
DRAC 5 NIC or the shared, teamed NIC
