Configuring the iDRAC Using the Web Interface 55
Configuring the iDRAC Using the
Web Interface
The iDRAC provides a Web interface that enables you to configure the
iDRAC properties and users, perform remote management tasks, and
troubleshoot a remote (managed) system for problems. For everyday systems
management, use the iDRAC Web interface. This chapter provides
information about how to perform common systems management tasks with
the iDRAC Web interface and provides links to related information.
Most Web interface configuration tasks can also be performed with local
RACADM commands or with SM-CLP commands.
Local RACADM commands are executed from the managed server. For more
information about local RACADM, see "Using the Local RACADM
Command Line Interface" on page 149.
SM-CLP commands are executed in a shell that can be accessed remotely
with a telnet or SSH connection. For more information about SM-CLP, see
"Using the iDRAC SM-CLP Command Line Interface" on page 173.
Accessing the Web Interface
To access the iDRAC Web interface, perform the following steps:
1
Open a supported Web browser window.
See "Supported Web Browsers" on page 23 for more information.
2 In the Address field, type https://< iDRAC-IP-address > and press
<Enter>.
If the default HTTPS port number (port 443) has been changed, type:
