Communication interfaces of the iRMC S2/S3

1.3 Communication interfaces of the

iRMC S2/S3
The iRMC S2/S3 provides the following communication interfaces:
iRMC S2/S3 web interface (web interface)
The connection to the iRMC S2/S3 web server is established over a
standard web browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox).
Among other things, the web interface of the iRMC S2/S3 provides you with
access to all system information and data from the sensors such as fan
speeds, voltages, etc. You can also configure text-based console redirection
and start graphical console redirection (Advanced Video Redirection, AVR).
In addition, administrators can fully configure the iRMC S2/S3 over the web
interface. Secure access to the iRMC S2/S3 web server can be provided
with HTTPS/SSL.
Operation of the iRMC S2/S3 over the web interface is described in chapter
"iRMC S2/S3 web interface" on page 135.
Remote Manager: Text-based Telnet/SSH interface via LAN
You can call the Remote Manager
from the ServerView Remote Management Frontend,
directly from a Telnet/SSH client.
The alphanumeric user interface of the Remote Manager provides you with
access to system and sensor information, power management functions and
the error event log. In addition, you can launch text console redirection or a
SMASH CLP shell. If you call the Remote Manager over SSH (Secure Shell),
the connection between the Remote Manager and the managed server is
encrypted.
Operation of the iRMC S2/S3 using the Remote Manager is described in
chapter "iRMC S2/S3 via Telnet/SSH (Remote Manager)" on page 321.
Remote Manager (Serial): Text-based serial interface over Serial 1
The Remote Manager (serial) interface is identical to the Remote Manager
interface.
