m1000e....iKVM switch
I have a m1000e blade chassis w/ iKVM switch. I understand one usb is for mouse, one for keyboard and then the monitor input. What is the ethernet connection for? I can't seem to get any sort of connection from it.
thx

THis is a note from a manual i have, It is used to connect to another dell/avocent KVM
The RJ-45 connector and uses Cat5 (or better) cabling, it is not an Ethernet network interface port. It is only used for connection to external KVM switches with Analog Rack Interface (ARI) ports.

The CAT5 ethernet port is used to connect to external (Dell KVM switches or Avocent branded KVM switches only). A single CAT5 cable is needed to connect between both the iKVM card and the external switch. The link below has the supported Dell branded KVM switches:

So the M1000e iKVM by default only supports local access and you need an external KVM switch to access it remotely over the network?
Thanks.
