Accessing iDRAC Remotely
To remotely access iDRAC Web interface from a management station, make sure that the management station is in the same network as
iDRAC. For example:
• Blade servers — The management station must be on the same network as CMC. For more information on isolating CMC network
from the managed system’s network, see Chassis Management Controller User’s Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
• Rack and tower servers — Set the iDRAC NIC to Dedicated or LOM1 and make sure that the management station is on the same
network as iDRAC.
To access the managed system’s console from a management station, use Virtual Console through iDRAC Web interface.
