Configuration via Telnet/SSH (Remote Manager)
A Telnet-based interface is available for the iRMC. This is known as the Remote
Manager. You can call the Remote Manager over any Telnet/SSH client.
The iRMC supports secure connections over SSH (Secure Shell). The Remote
Manager interface is identical for Telnet and SSH connections. In principle, any
Telnet/SSH client that interprets VT100 sequences can be used to access the iRMC.
It is nevertheless recommended that the iRMC web interface or the Remote
Management Front end (referred to below simply as the Remote Management Front
end) be used.
This chapter describes operation of the iRMC from the Remote Manager and the
various functions in detail.

Requirements on the managed server

Access via Telnet must be activated for the iRMC (for more information, refer to the
section "Ports and Network Services - Configuring ports and network services" in the
"Cisco C880 M5 User Interface Guide").
Access via the Telnet protocol is deactivated by default for security reasons, as
passwords are transmitted in plain text.
