Terminal Services Passthrough option

Terminal Services is provided by the Microsoft Windows operating systems. The iLO 2 Terminal
Services Passthrough option provides a connection between the Terminal Services server on the
host system and the Terminal Services client on the client system. When the Terminal Services
Passthrough option is enabled, the iLO 2 firmware enables a socket, listening by default on port
3389. All data received from Terminal Services on this port is forwarded to the server and all data
Terminal Services receives from the server is forwarded back to the socket. The iLO 2 firmware
reads anything received on this port as an RDP packet. RDP packets are exchanged between the
iLO 2 firmware and the server Terminal Services (RDP) server through the local host address on
the server. The service provided facilitates communications between the iLO 2 firmware and the
RDP server. The RDP server interprets the service as an established external RDP connection. For
more information on RDP services, see

“Windows RDP Passthrough service” (page 36)

.

A Terminal Services session provides a performance-enhanced view of the host system console.
When the operating system is unavailable (or the Terminal Services server or client is unavailable),
the traditional iLO 2 Remote Console provides a view of the host system console. For more
information on Remote Console and Terminal Services, see

“Remote Console and Terminal Services

clients” (page 37)

.

To configure the Terminal Services Passthrough option, see the

“Terminal Services client

requirements” (page 35)

and

“Terminal Services Passthrough installation” (page 36)
