Table 3. Interfaces and protocols to access iDRAC (continued)

Interface or Protocol Description

● Lifecycle Controller page on Dell EMC knowledge base site — www.dell.com/support/article/

sln311809/

● MOFs and Profiles — http://downloads.dell.com/wsman.

● DMTF website — dmtf.org/standards/profiles

SSH Use SSH to run RACADM commands. The SSH service is enabled by default on iDRAC. The SSH

service can be disabled in iDRAC. iDRAC only supports SSH version 2 with the RSA host key

algorithm. A unique 1024-bit RSA host key is generated when you power-up iDRAC for the first time.

IPMITool Use the IPMITool to access the remote system’s basic management features through iDRAC. The

interface includes local IPMI, IPMI over LAN, IPMI over Serial, and Serial over LAN. For more

information on IPMITool, see the Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Controller Utilities

User’s Guide at dell.com/idracmanuals.

NOTE: IPMI version 1.5 is not supported.

NTLM iDRAC allows NTLM to provide authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to the users. NT LAN

Manager (NTLM) is a suite of Microsoft security protocols and it works in a Windows network.

SMB iDRAC9 supports the Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol. This is a network file sharing protocol

and the default minimum SMB version supported is 2.0, SMBv1 is no longer supported.

NFS iDRAC9 supports Network File System (NFS). This is a distributed filesystem protocol that

enables users to mount remote directories on the servers.

iDRAC port information

The following table lists the ports that are required to remotely access iDRAC through firewall. These are the default ports

iDRAC listens to for connections. Optionally, you can modify most of the ports. To modify ports, see Configuring services on

page 97.
