Using iLO 109
Terminal Services Pass-Through Option
Terminal Services is provided by the Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.
The iLO Terminal Services pass-through option provides a connection between
the Terminal Services server on the host system and the Terminal Services client
on the client system. When the Terminal Services pass-through option is enabled,
iLO firmware sets up a socket, listening by default on port 3389. All data
received from the Terminal Services on this port is forwarded to the server and
all data it receives from the server is forwarded back to the socket. The firmware
assumes anything received on this port is in an RDP packet. RDP packets are
exchanged between the iLO firmware and the server's Terminal Services (RDP)
server through the localhost address on the server. A service is provided to
facilitate communications between the iLO firmware and the RDP server, such
that the RDP server believes that an external RDP connection has been
established. For more information on RDP service, refer to the "Windows® RDP
Pass-Through Service (on page 110
)" section.
A Terminal Services session provides a performance-enhanced view of the host
system console. When the operating system is unavailable (or the Terminal
Services server or client is unavailable), the traditional iLO remote console
provides the view of the host system console. For more information on Remote
Console and Terminal Services, refer to the "Remote Console and Terminal
Services Clients (on page 114
)" section.
To configure the Terminal Services pass-through option, refer to "Terminal
Services Client Requirements (on page 109
)" and "Terminal Services Pass-
Through Installation (on page 111
)."
