CMC and iDRACs are now available on the network. You can access the CMC on the assigned IP
address using the Web interface or CLIs such as a serial console, Telnet, and SSH.
Interfaces and Protocols to Access CMC
After you have configured the CMC network settings, you can remotely access CMC using various
interfaces. The following table lists the interfaces that you can use to remotely access CMC.
NOTE: Telnet is not as secure as the other interfaces, hence it is disabled by default. Enable Telnet
by using web, SSH, or remote RACADM.
NOTE: Using more than one interface at the same time may generate unexpected results.
Table 4. CMC Interfaces
Interface Description
Web interface Provides remote access to CMC using a graphical user interface. The
Web interface is built into the CMC firmware and is accessed through
the NIC interface from a supported web browser on the management
station.
For a list of supported Web browsers, see the “Supported Browsers”
section in the Dell System Software Support Matrix at dell.com/support/
manuals.
Remote RACADM command
line interface
Use this command line utility to manage CMC and its components. You
can use remote or firmware RACADM:
• Remote RACADM is a client utility that runs on a management
station. It uses the out-of-band network interface to run RACADM
commands on the managed system and uses the HTTPs channel.
The –r option runs the RACADM command over a network.
• Firmware RACADM is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or
Telnet. You can run the firmware RACADM commands without
specifying the CMC IP, user name, or password. After you enter the
RACADM prompt, you can directly run the commands without the
racadm prefix.
