8 No Restrictions | iDRAC Access via Host Operating System
The firewall rule indicates the port number used during the installation time or user modified port number
using the iDRAC Service Module provided interfaces.
To access the iDRAC GUI, use the following format in the browser: https://<host-name or OS-
IP>:1266/login.html
Where:
Host-name is the complete host-name of the server host OS where iDRAC Service Module is installed and
configured for iDRAC access via OS. In the absence of hostname, the OS IP address can be used.
1266 is the host OS port number for accessing the iDRAC through host OS. iDRAC Service Module
configures this port, such that all incoming connections is redirected to iDRAC https port (default port is
443). The iDRAC https port number can be modified by the administrator using any of the iDRAC supported
interfaces such as racadm, GUI, WSMAN, and so on. iDRAC Service Module is resilient for this change and
reconfigures the iDRAC access rules seamlessly without any user intervention.
