Managing hardware appliances with the RMM

Use the RMM — also called the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) — to manage a hardware appliance remotely. The RMM is not available on virtual appliances.

The RMM must be configured with its own IP address and cabled separately. For the Trellix DLP 7700 and Trellix DLP 6600 appliance, log on with the administrator account with the user name as admin and administrator password.

Note

For the Trellix DLP 8800 appliance, the default password for the RMM ADMIN account is located on a pull-out server tag usually located on bottom side as a label. It is also printed on the motherboard on a sticker with a barcode.

Use the appliance console to enable and configure basic settings for the RMM. After configuring the RMM network settings, you can also access the appliance console using the integrated web server. From the web interface, you can check the hardware status, perform additional configuration, and remotely manage the appliance. Go to:

https://<RMM IP address>

Use the appliance administrator credentials to access the user interface. You can configure the RMM to use LDAP for authentication instead of the admin account.

By default, all protocols used to access the RMM are enabled:
