Supported remote access connections

The following table lists the supported remote access connections.

Table 1. Supported remote access connections
Connection	Features
CMC Network Interface ports	Gb ports: Dedicated network interface for the CMC web interface. The CMC has two RJ-45 Ethernet ports: Gb1 (the uplink port) Gb2 (the stacking or cable consolidation port). The STK/Gb2 port can also be used for CMC NIC failover. NOTE: Ensure that the CMC setting is changed from default Stacking to Redundant to implement NIC failover. CAUTION: Connecting the STK/Gb2 port to the management network will have unpredictable results if the CMC setting is not changed from default Stacking to Redundant, to implement NIC failover. In the default Stacking mode, cabling the Gb1 and STK/Gb2 ports to the same network (broadcast domain) can cause a broadcast storm. A broadcast storm can also occur if the CMC setting is changed to Redundant mode, but the cabling is daisy chained between chassis in the Stacking mode. Ensure that the cabling model matches the CMC setting for the intended usage. DHCP support. SNMP traps and e-mail event notification. Network interface for the iDRAC and I/O Modules (IOMs). Support for Telnet/SSH command console and RACADM CLI commands including system boot, reset, power-on, and shutdown commands.
Serial port	Support for serial console and RACADM CLI commands including system boot, reset, power-on, and shutdown commands. Support for binary interchange for applications specifically designed to communicate with a binary protocol to a particular type of IOM. Serial port can be connected internally to the serial console of a server, or I/O module, using the connect (or racadm connect) command.
