14.2 Logging In to the iBMC CLI
NOTE
l
A user will be locked out after five consecutive login failures with wrong passwords. The user is
automatically unlocked 5 minutes later, and an administrator can unlock the user on the CLI.
l
For security purposes, change your initial password at your first login and change the password
periodically.
l
By default, the CLI timeout interval is 15 minutes.
Logging In over SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) provides secure remote login and other network services on a non-secure
network. A maximum of five users can log in over SSH at the same time.
NOTE
SSH supports the
AES128-CTR
,
AES192-CTR
, and
AES256-CTR
encryption algorithms. When you
log in to the iBMC over SSH, select a proper encryption algorithm.
Step 1
Download an SSH communication tool to a local client.
Step 2
Connect the client to the server management network port directly or through a network.
Step 3
Set the client IP address so that the client can communicate with the server iBMC
management network port.
Step 4
On the client, open the SSH tool and set related parameters, such as the IP address.
Step 5
Connect to the iBMC and enter the user name and password.
NOTE
l
Local and LDAP users can both log in to the iBMC CLI over SSH.
l
To log in to the iBMC, LDAP users do not need to enter information about the domain server, which
is automatically assigned by the system.
