PC Clients to Nodes
Another significant role of CC-SG is to connect PC clients to various
nodes. These nodes can be serial or KVM console connections to
Raritan devices (called Out-of-Band connections). Another mode is to
use In-Band access methods such as VNC, RDP, or SSH.
Another facet of PC client to node communication is whether:
• The PC client connects directly to the node either via a Raritan
device or In-Band access. This is called Direct Mode.
• The PC client connects to the node through CC-SG, which acts as
an application firewall. This is called Proxy Mode.

CC-SG and Client for IPMI, iLO/RILOE, DRAC, RSA
Another significant role of CC-SG is to manage third-party devices, such
as iLO/RILOE, Hewlett Packard's Integrated Lights Out/Remote Insight
Lights Out servers. Targets of an iLO/RILOE device are powered on/off
and recycled directly. Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
servers can also be controlled by CC-SG. Dell DRAC and RSA targets
can also be managed by CC-SG.

HTTP ports)
