7.4. How to connect to Gcap?

Access to the GCap can be made:

• Either by a direct connection (connect directly to the server)

  This is necessary if the network configuration is not yet completed on the GCap

  For implementation, refer to Procedure to connect directly to the GCap via keyboard and screen
• Or by a HTTP remote connection (iDRAC function for a Dell server)

  This connection is not the normal way to access the GCap but enables access to the GCap in the event of problems

  For implementation, refer to Procedure to connect the iDRAC in HTTP (DELL server)
• Or by a remote connection to the CLI in SSH via the iDRAC interface in serial port redirection mode

  This connection is not the normal way to access the GCap but enables access to the GCap in the event of problems

  For implementation, refer to Procedure to remote connection to the CLI using SSH via the iDRAC interface in serial port forwarding mode
• Or by a remote connection to the CLI in SSH via the network interface with the role `management`

  This connection is the nominal way to access the GCap

  For more information, refer to Procedure to remote connection to GCap via an SSH tunnel

Note

The list of physical connectors to use was described in the PRESENTATION - General section.
