Communication protocols
Broadcom provides the following communication protocols that are used to connect server and client
systems:
•
Microsoft Windows clients and servers can use WMI and WS-MAN/WinRM.
Linux systems that connect to Microsoft Windows servers can use the WS-MAN/WinRM protocol to
connect to the Microsoft Windows server.
•
Linux clients and servers can use CimXML/Open Pegasus and WS-MAN/Open Pegasus.
Microsoft Windows clients that connect to Linux servers can use the CimXML/Open Pegasus and
WS-MAN/Open Pegasus protocols to connect to the Linux server.
•
If Microsoft Windows and Linux clients both access Windows and Linux servers on a network, use the
WS-MAN protocol.
•
If Linux is the only OS installed on the servers, use the CimXML protocol.
•
If the network only has Microsoft Windows clients and servers, use the WMI protocol. WMI does not
require as much configuration as other protocols but is only supported on Microsoft Windows systems.
