Examples
1. To disable the feature:
[root@MyDevBox bin]# /opt/dell/srvadmin/iSM/bin/Enable-iDRACAccessHostRoute 0
iDRAC access via Host OS feature configuration has been disabled.
After the feature is disabled, iDRAC Service Module deletes all the newly added DNAT and SNAT rules.
2. To Enable the feature or to change the listening port number:
[root@MyDevBox bin]# /opt/dell/srvadmin/iSM/bin/Enable-iDRACAccessHostRoute 1 9999
iDRAC access via Host OS feature configuration has been updated successfully. Please verify and enable
the Firewall rule for OS2iDRAC feature to work. You can access iDRAC using the port number specified.
For example, use https://<hostname>:5678/login.html to access the iDRAC web interface.
The feature is enabled and the new port number 9999 is configured as the listen-port number. Here the
port number 9999 will be overriding the default port number of 1266.
The newly added NAT rules are:
[root@MyDevBox bin]# iptables -t nat -L
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RETURN tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:9999
DNAT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:9999 to:169.254.0.1:443
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
SNAT tcp -- anywhere 169.254.0.1 tcp dpt:https to:169.254.0.2
3. To Enable the feature with IPRange setting:
[root@MyDevBox bin]# /opt/dell/srvadmin/iSM/bin/Enable-iDRACAccessHostRoute 1 9999
<10.10.10.10>/16
iDRAC access via Host OS feature configuration has been updated successfully. Please verify and enable
the Firewall rule for OS2iDRAC feature to work.
You can access iDRAC using the port number specified. For example,
use https://<hostname>:9999/login.html to access the iDRAC web interface. Now the feature is enabled
with listen port number 9999 and only for the Source IP addresses in the range 10.10.10.10/16.
The newly added NAT rules are:
[root@MyDevBox bin]# iptables -t nat -L
