Using the Web UI
The BMC firmware features an embedded web server, enabling users to connect
to the BMC using an Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) without
needing to install KVM and virtual storage software on a remote console.
Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers:
Microsoft Windows:
Internet Explorer 6 or later
Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
2.0017 or later
Linux
:
Mozilla Firefox 2.0017 or later
NOTE:
Before using the web user interface, ensure that the firewall settings are
configured to enable access to the following ports: 7578 (KVM),USB-CDROM:
5120, USB-FLOPPY: 5123.
Logging in to the Web User Interface
Enter the BMC-embedded server IP address or URL into the address bar of the
web browser. The BMC interface has a default of (DHCP\Static). Enter the
system BIOS setup with <F2> to change these settings.
When connecting to the BMC, the login screen prompts for the username and
password. This authentication with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection
prevents unauthorized intruders from gaining access to the BMC web server.
Once authentication is passed, you can manage the server by privilege. At the
same time, the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) records all user information,
including user ID and privilege.
