CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
This document is intended for users who have been granted the Ports Access privilege and have
access to particular ports (target servers) that are attached to Raritan devices, generic devices (hub,
Windows server, or Cisco router), or IPMI servers. With the Ports Access privilege, you can
connect to ports, create custom views, search for ports, bookmark ports, and use port chat to talk
to other users who are connected to the same port. The Active Ports and User Data reports are
also available.
Prerequisites
Before connecting to a port and managing them, the ports need to be configured as well as the
application that is used to connect to the port. Please see Raritan’s CommandCenter Secure
Gateway Administrator Guide for additional information.
Terminology/Acronyms
Terms and acronyms found in this document include:
• iLO/RILOE—Hewlett Packard’s Integrated Lights Out/Remote Insight Lights Out servers
that can be managed by CC-SG. Data between CC-SG and iLO/RILOE device is SSL
encrypted. Targets of an iLO/RILOE device are powered on/off and recycled directly.
• In-band Access—going through the TCP/IP network to correct or troubleshoot a target in
your network. KVM, Serial, and Generic devices can be accessed via these in-band
applications: RemoteDesktop Viewer, SSH Client, VNC Viewer.
• IPMI Servers (Intelligent Platform Management Interface)—servers that can be controlled
by CC-SG. IPMI are discovered automatically but can be added manually as well.
• Out-of-band Access—using applications such as Raritan Remote Console (RRC), Raritan
Console (RC), or Multi-Platform Client (MPC) to correct or troubleshoot a KVM or serial
managed target in your network.
• Ports—are connection points between a Raritan Device and a target system or server. Or, a
port can be a device that is directly connected to a LAN/CC-SG via In-band access. In CC-
SG, you click on a port to access and manage the target. The port is essentially the destination
system and should be named appropriately for that system, for example, NYC_SunSRV1.
