Additional Services

This section describes HTTPS, Telnet, SMTP, and SSH services, and altitude settings.

This section does not cover all the optional services and settings for the Service Processor that you might want to set up and use at a later date. For example, you can set up mirrored memory mode on the Service Processor using the setupfru command. Refer to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide for information on day-to-day administration and management tasks.

HTTPS Service

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over an authenticated/encrypted connection allows you to use the XSCF web browser securely. This is called the HTTPS service. Authentication is provided with a certificate authority and private keys. To use the HTTPS service, you must enable it, and provide an optional port number. The default port is 443. To enable HTTPS service, use the sethttps command.

Telnet Service

Telnet service is disabled by default on the Service Processor. To enable it, use the settelnet command. Telnet provides an alternative for those sites that do not have ssh.

SMTP Service

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service is controlled by these commands:
