Interfaces for In-Band Connections - RDP, VNC, SSH, RSA KVM, iLO Processor KVM, DRAC KVM, TELNET

In-band connections include RDP, VNC, SSH, RSA KVM, iLO Processor KVM, DRAC KVM, and TELNET.

Microsoft RDP, SSH, Telnet, VNC and DRAC (iDRAC6 only) interfaces support IPv6 addresses. Java RDP, RSA KVM, and iLO Processor KVM interfaces do not support IPv6 addresses. See Adding Interfaces for Nodes Using IPv6.

Telnet is not a secure access method. All usernames, passwords, and traffic are transmitted in clear text.

• To add an interface for in-band connections:

1. Type the IP Address or Hostname for this interface in the IP Address/Hostname field.
2. Type a TCP Port for this connection in the TCP Port field. Optional.
3. For RDP interfaces, select Java or Windows, then select Console or Remote User. When a Console user accesses a node, all other users are disconnected. Multiple Remote Users can access a node simultaneously.
4. Enter authentication information:
   • To use a service account for authentication, select the Use Service Account Credentials checkbox. Select the service account to use in the Service Account Name menu.

   or

   • Enter a Username and Password for authentication. For VNC interfaces, only a password is required.
5. Select the Keyboard layout for your language. This option is not available for Microsoft RDP interfaces.
6. Type a description of this interface in the Description field. Optional.
7. Click OK to save your changes.
