APPENDIX B: CC-SG AND NETWORK CONFIGURATION 241
PC Clients to Nodes
Another significant role of CC-SG is to connect PC clients to various nodes. These nodes can be
serial or KVM console connections to Raritan devices (called Out-of-Band connections). Another
mode is to use In-Band access (IBA) methods, for example, Virtual Network Computer (VNC),
Windows Remote Desktop (RDP), or Secure Shell (SSH).
Another facet of PC client to target communication is whether:
• The PC client connects directly to the target (either via a Raritan device or In-Band access),
which is called Direct Mode.
• Or, if the PC client connects to the target through CC-SG, which acts as an application
firewall and is called Proxy Mode.

CC-SG & Client for IPMI, iLO/RILOE, DRAC, RSA
Another significant role of CC-SG is to manage third-party devices, such as iLO/RILOE, Hewlett
Packard’s Integrated Lights Out/Remote Insight Lights Out servers. Targets of an iLO/RILOE
device are powered on/off and recycled directly. Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI) servers can also be controlled by CC-SG. Dell DRAC and RSA targets can also be
managed by CC-SG.

CC-SG → RSA 80 or 443 UDP no
CC-SG & SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows CC-SG to push SNMP traps (event
notifications) to an existing SNMP manager on the network. CC-SG also supports SNMP
GET/SET operations with third-party Enterprise Management Solutions, such as HP OpenView.
