Logging In to the BMC
The BMC provides a Web interface for monitoring and management. You can access this interface through HTTP or HTTPS.
Note: To use HTTPS, you need BMC firmware revision 0.20 or later. The BMC dashboard displays the firmware version.
To connect to the BMC Web interface
1. In a Web browser, enter the IP address for the BMC management port.
To display the BMC IP address, from the SteelHead command line use the show remote ip command.
2. If the connection is not trusted (possibly using a self-signed certificate), you are prompted to add and confirm a security exception.
3. When prompted, log in to the Web interface.
The default user name is admin; the default password is admin.
