DELL DRAC & Ubuntu VPN Connection

  • 772

I am trying to connect to a DELL DRAC card without success by Ubuntu VPN Connection Manager. I have these data:

Protocol: PPTP
SERVER IP PPTP: 1233.123.123.123
DRAC IP: 192.168.10.25
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
User: myuser
Pass: mypass

where have I to write these parameters?

I have configured the PPTP connection using the graphical tool in Ubuntu 11.10

enter image description here

... but in the /var/log/syslog I get these messages:

Apr 15 11:33:15 shinet NetworkManager[1035]: <info> Starting VPN service 'pptp'...

  1. Why not open a browser window and browse to https://192.168.10.25

    This should open a window that gives you remote KVM and power/health and options for virtual media. I suspect you may not have much joy with virtual media as these only seem to work with certain versions of IE.

    That is the easiest way to connect to a DRAC. There are other methods for SSH/telnet, etc, please see this link if you require more info. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smdrac3/drac5/OM53/en/ug/racugc3.htm
