Terminal Services Passthrough option
Terminal Services is provided by the Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. The iLO 2 Terminal
Services Passthrough option provides a connection between the Terminal Services server on the host
system and the Terminal Services client on the client system. When the Terminal Services Passthrough
option is enabled, the iLO 2 firmware enables a socket, listening by default on port 3389. All data
received from Terminal Services on this port is forwarded to the server and all data Terminal Services
receives from the server is forwarded back to the socket. The iLO 2 firmware reads anything received on
this port as an RDP packet. RDP packets are exchanged between the iLO 2 firmware and the server
Terminal Services (RDP) server through the local host address on the server. The service provided
facilitates communications between the iLO 2 firmware and the RDP server. The RDP server interprets the
service as an established external RDP connection. For more information on RDP service, see the section,
"Windows® RDP Passthrough service ("
Windows RDP passthrough service
" on page
36
)."
A Terminal Services session provides a performance-enhanced view of the host system console. When the
operating system is unavailable (or the Terminal Services server or client is unavailable), the traditional
iLO 2 Remote Console provides a view of the host system console. For more information on Remote
Console and Terminal Services, see the section, "Remote Console and Terminal Services clients (on page
37
)."
To configure the Terminal Services Passthrough option, see the sections, "Terminal Services Client
requirements (on page

)" and "Terminal Services Passthrough installation ("

through installation
