rule, OS2iDRAC. The listen port number is added to the OS2iDRAC firewall rule in the host operating
system, which allows incoming connections. By default, the firewall rule is disabled. You can enable the
rule in the Windows Firewall Advanced Options menu.
NOTE: Ensure that the Microsoft IP Helper Services is running on your system for this feature to
function.
To access the iDRAC Web interface, use the format https://<host-name> or OS-IP>:443/
login.html in the browser, where:
• <host-name> — Complete host name of the server on which iSM is installed and configured for
iDRAC access via OS feature. You can use the OS IP address if the host name is not present.
• 443 — Default iDRAC port number. This is called the Connect Port number to which all the incoming
connections on listen port number are redirected. You can modify the port number through iDRAC
Web interface, WS-MAN, and RACADM interfaces.
Configuration by using iSM PowerShell script
If this feature is disabled while installing iSM, you can enable the feature by using the following Windows
PowerShell command provided by iSM:
Enable-iDRACAccessHostRoute
If the feature is already configured, you can disable or modify it by using the PowerShell comamnd and
the corresponding options. The available options are as follows:
• Status — This parameter is mandatory. The values are not case sensitive and the value range is true or
false.
• Port — This is the listen port number. This parameter is mandatory if the Status parameter value is
TRUE. If the Status parameter value is FALSE, then you can ignore rest of the parameters. You must
enter a new port number that is not already configured for this feature. The new port number settings
overwrite the existing OS2iDRAC in-bound firewall rule and you can use the new port number to
connect to iDRAC. The value range is from 1024 to 65535.
• IPRange — This parameter is optional and it provides a range of IP addresses that are allowed to
connect to iDRAC through the host operating system. The IP address range format is in Classless
Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format, which is a combination of IP address and subnet mask. For
example, 10.94.111.21/24. Access to iDRAC is restricted for IP addresses that are not within the range.
NOTE: This feature supports only IPv4 addresses.
iDRAC access via Linux Operating Systems
You can install this feature by using the setup.sh file that is available with the Web pack. This feature is
disabled on a default or typical iSM installation. To install, enable, and configure this feature, use the
following command:
./Enable-iDRACAccessHostRoute <Enable-Flag> [ <source-port> <source-IP-range/
source-ip-range-mask>]
<Enable-Flag> — 0 for Disable, 1 for Enable
<source-IP-range> — This should in the <IP-Address/subnet-mask> format. For example,
10.95.146.98/24.
<Enable-Flag> — If the value is 0, <source-port> <source-IP-range/source-ip-range-mask> is not
required.
