PC Clients to Nodes

Another significant role of CC-SG is to connect PC clients to various nodes. These nodes can be serial or KVM console connections to Raritan devices (called Out-of-Band connections). Another mode is to use In-Band access methods such as VNC, RDP, or SSH.

Another facet of PC client to node communication is whether:

• The PC client connects directly to the node either via a Raritan device or In-Band access. This is called Direct Mode.
• The PC client connects to the node through CC-SG, which acts as an application firewall. This is called Proxy Mode.

  Communication Direction	Port Number	Protocol	Configurable?	Details
  Client to CC-SG via Proxy to Node	2400 (on CC-SG)	TCP	no	Client-server communication. Not encrypted.
  Client to Raritan Device to Out-of-Band KVM Node (Direct Mode)	5000 (on Raritan Device)	TCP	yes	Client-server communication. SSL/AES-128/AES-256 encrypted if configured.
  Client to Raritan Dominion SX Device to Out-of-Band Serial Node (Direct Mode)	51000 (on Raritan Device)	TCP	yes	Client-server communication. SSL/AES-128/AES-256 encrypted if configured.
