IPMI Management

Your hardware appliance might contain an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) card. IPMI is a remote monitoring and power management interface installed into the appliance that enables remote management, console access, and hardware monitoring functions separate to the Traffic Manager’s own administration interfaces.

IPMI is vendor dependent and as such the layout, style, and access mechanism can vary. IPMI is typically accessed through a dedicated Ethernet port in the appliance which, once connected to your network, serves a Web enabled user interface. To gain access to this user interface, type the DHCP-provided IP address into your Web browser (typically over port 80). Use the default credentials provided by your appliance vendor to login to the IPMI user interface.

By default, IPMI is enabled. Use the Traffic Manager initial configuration wizard to disable access to the IPMI Web interface, or to set the IPMI credentials to match the Traffic Manager admin user.
