Lifecycle Controller Use Lifecycle Controller to perform iDRAC7 configurations. To access Lifecycle Controller,
press <F10> during boot and go to System Setup → Advanced Hardware Configuration →
iDRAC Settings . For more information, see
dell.com/support/manuals.
Telnet Use Telnet to access iDRAC7 where you can run RACADM and SMCLP commands. For details
about RACADM, see
at dell.com/support/manuals. For details about SMCLP, see
SSH Use SSH to run RACADM and SMCLP commands. It provides the same capabilities as the
Telnet console using an encrypted transport layer for higher security. The SSH service is
enabled by default on iDRAC7. The SSH service can be disabled in iDRAC7. iDRAC7 only
supports SSH version 2 with DSA and the RSA host key algorithm. A unique 1024-bit DSA and
1024-bit RSA host key is generated when you power-up iDRAC7 for the first time.
IPMITool Use the IPMITool to access the remote system's basic management features through iDRAC7.
The interface includes local IPMI, IPMI over LAN, IPMI over Serial, and Serial over LAN. For
more information on IPMITool, see the
Utilities User's Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
VMCLI Use the Virtual Media Command Line Interface (VMCLI) to access a remote media through the
management station and deploy operating systems on multiple managed systems.
SMCLP Use Server Management Workgroup Server Management-Command Line Protocol (SMCLP) to
perform systems management tasks. This is available through SSH or Telnet. For more
information about SMCLP, see
WS-MAN The LC-Remote Services is based on the WS-Management protocol to do one-to-many
systems management tasks. You must use WS-MAN client such as WinRM client (Windows)
or the OpenWSMAN client (Linux) to use the LC-Remote Services functionality. You can also
use Power Shell and Python to script to the WS-MAN interface.
Web Services for Management (WS-Management) is a Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP)–based protocol used for systems management. iDRAC7 uses WS–Management to
convey Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM)–based
management information. The CIM information defines the semantics and information types
that can be modified in a managed system. The data available through WS-Management is

NOTE: Telnet is not a secure protocol and is disabled by default. Telnet transmits all data,
including passwords in plain text. When transmitting sensitive information, use the SSH
interface.
