— Using the ESMS

Enter IP address for Authentication

System default IP address sources from Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) first. If DHCP

server is not detected, the BMC IP will be assigned to https://192.168.1.2/ (or URL) instead of DHCP.

When connecting to the ESMS using a web browser, SSL is automatically activated after the required mode is se-

lected and the user login fields are displayed. This authentication with SSL protection prevents unauthorized

intruders such as hackers from gaining access to the ESMS web server. If authentication is passed, the user can

manage the server by privilege. At the same time, the PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) records all user infor-

mation, including user ID and privilege.

Setting the KVM TCP Ports on the Network

Before using the ESMS, ensure that the firewall settings are configured to allow access to the following ports:

 Remote KVM—8890 (TCP), 8900 (TCP)

 Discovery—5000 (Multicast), 2000 (UDP)

 Virtual Storage—9000 (TCP)

Note:

The ESMS requires access to the system’s TCP ports. For information on configur-

ing firewall settings to allow TCP port access, refer to your firewall software user’s

guide.

Choose Console Mode

Two modes of operation are available to access the ESMS application—Web Console and Advance Console.
