Interface

Description

 

 

 

• View alerts and CMC IP.

 

• Set DHCP.

 

• Configure CMC static IP settings.

 

• View CMC MAC address for the active CMC.

 

• View the CMC VLAN ID appended to the end of CMC IP, if the VLAN

 

is already configured.

Telnet

Provides command line access to CMC through the network. The

 

RACADM command line interface and the connect command, which is

 

used to connect to the serial console of a server or IO module, are

 

available from the CMC command line.

 

NOTE: Telnet is not a secure protocol and is disabled by default.

 

Telnet transmits all data, including passwords in plain text. When

 

transmitting sensitive information, use the SSH interface.

SSH

Use SSH to run RACADM commands. It provides the same capabilities as

 

the Telnet console using an encrypted transport layer for higher

 

security. The SSH service is enabled by default on CMC and can be

 

disabled.

WS-MAN

The WSMAN Services is based on the Web Services for Management

 

(WSMAN) protocol to perform one-to-many systems management

 

tasks. You must use WS-MAN client such as WinRM client (Windows) or

 

the OpenWSMAN client (Linux) to use the LC-Remote Services

 

functionality. You can also use Power Shell and Python script the WS-

 

MAN interface.

 

WSMAN is a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)–based protocol

 

used for systems management. CMC uses WS–Management to convey

 

Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information

 

Model (CIM)–based management information. The CIM information

 

defines the semantics and information types that can be modified in a

 

managed system.

 

The CMC WS-MAN implementation uses SSL on port 443 for transport

 

security, and supports basic authentication. The data available through

 

WS-Management is provided by CMC instrumentation interface mapped

 

to the DMTF profiles and extension profiles.

Web services interfaces can be utilized by leveraging client infrastructure, such as Windows WinRM and Powershell CLI, open source utilities like WSMANCLI, and application programming environments like Microsoft .NET.
