Chapter 4. Getting started with Remote Management Module
The Remote Management Module features an embedded web server and applications offering a variety of standardized interfaces. This section describes both the interfaces and how to use them. The interfaces are accessed using TCP/IP protocol.
Before you begin
For initial setup information, refer Chapter 4 “Getting started with Remote Management Module” on page 7. Before you log in, you must enable the intended user. The examples in this chapter will use user “root”, but other usernames and passwords could be used.
The Remote Management Module
Client browsers
In order to access the web console using a securely encrypted connection, you will need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only assured by using a Cipher Strength (encryption) of 128 - Bit. Some older browsers may not have a strong 128 Bit encryption algorithm.
If you are using Windows* Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, you can verify strong encryption by opening the “Help / About” menu to read about the key length that is currently activated.
In order to use the Remote Console (KVM) window of your managed server, you must install the Java Runtime Environment* (JRE*) version 1.6 or higher.
Note: The Web Console is designed for a screen size of 1280 pixels by 1024 pixels or larger. In smaller screens, the browser will display slider controls to enable the user to see the full content of each web page.
Logging in
Step 1. Enter the configured IP address of the Remote Management Module
For example:
http://10.223.131.36/
To use a secure connection, type in as the following example: https://10.223.131.36/
This will take you to the Remote Management Module module login page.
Step 2. Log in by entering the username and password.
For example:
•Username = root
•Password = superuser
Note: The Username and Password are case sensitive. Any username and password could be used (except anonymous).
Step 3. Click Login to view the Remote Management Module home page.
