Additional Services
This section describes HTTPS, Telnet, SMTP, and SSH services, and altitude settings.
This section does not cover all the optional services and settings for the Service
Processor that you might want to set up and use at a later date. For example, you
can set up mirrored memory mode on the Service Processor using the setupfru
command. Refer to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF
User’s Guide for information on day-to-day administration and management tasks.
HTTPS Service
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over an authenticated/encrypted connection
allows you to use the XSCF web browser securely. This is called the HTTPS service.
Authentication is provided with a certificate authority and private keys. To use the
HTTPS service, you must enable it, and provide an optional port number. The
default port is 443. To enable HTTPS service, use the sethttps command.
Telnet Service
Telnet service is disabled by default on the Service Processor. To enable it, use the
settelnet command. Telnet provides an alternative for those sites that do not have
ssh.
SMTP Service
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service is controlled by these commands:
■ showsmtp
■ setsmtp
