Using the WEB UI | 6

Using the Web UI

The BMC firmware features an embedded web server, enabling users to connect

to the BMC using an Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) without

needing to install KVM and virtual storage software on a remote console.

Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers:

Microsoft Windows:



Internet Explorer 6 or later



Mozilla

Firefox

2.0017 or later

Linux

Mozilla Firefox 2.0017 or later



NOTE:

Before using the web userinterface, ensure that the firewall settings are

configured to enable access to the following ports: 7578 (KVM),USB-CDROM:

5120, USB-FLOPPY: 5123.

Logging in to the Web User Interface

Enter the BMC-embedded server IP address or URL into the address bar of the

web browser. The BMC interface has a default of (DHCP\Static). Enter the

system BIOS setup with <F2> to change these settings.

When connecting to the BMC, the login screen prompts for the username and

password. This authentication with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection

prevents unauthorized intruders from gaining access to the BMC web server.

Once authentication is passed, you can manage the server by privilege. At the

same time, the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) records all user information,

including user ID and privilege.
