Proxy Server

To browse through a proxy server that does not have access to the management network, you can add the management
network addresses to the exception list of the browser. This instructs the browser to bypass the proxy server while
accessing the management network.

Internet Explorer

To edit the exception list in Internet Explorer:

1.

Start Internet Explorer.

2.

Click Tools → Internet Options → Connections .

3.

In the Local Area Network (LAN) settings section, click LAN Settings.
The Local Area Network (LAN) settings dialog box is displayed.

4.

In the Local Area Network (LAN) settings dialog box, go to the Proxy server section. Select the Use a proxy server

for your LAN option. .
The Advanced option gets enabled.

5.

Click Advanced.

6.

In the Exceptions section, add the addresses for CMCs and iDRACs on the management network to the semicolon-

separated list. You can use DNS names and wildcards in your entries.

Mozilla FireFox

To edit the exception list in Mozilla Firefox version 3.0:

1.

Start Mozilla Firefox.

2.

Click Tools → Options (for systems running Windows) or click Edit → Preferences (for systems running Linux).

3.

Click Advanced and then click the Network tab.

4.

Click Settings.

5.

Select the Manual Proxy Configuration.

6.

In the No Proxy for field, type the addresses for CMCs and iDRACs on the management network as a comma-

separated list. You can use DNS names and wildcards in your entries.

Microsoft Phishing Filter

If the Microsoft Phishing Filter is enabled in Internet Explorer 7 on your management system, and your CMC does not
have Internet access, accessing CMC may be delayed by a few seconds. This delay can happen if you are using the
browser or another interface such as remote RACADM. Follow these steps to disable the phishing filter:

1.

Start Internet Explorer.

2.

Click Tools → Phishing Filter, and then click Phishing Filter Settings.

3.

Select the Disable Phishing Filter check box and click OK.

Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Fetching

If your CMC has no access to the Internet, disable the certificate revocation list (CRL) fetching feature in Internet
Explorer. This feature tests whether a server such as the CMC Web server uses a certificate that is on a list of revoked
certificates retrieved from the Internet. If the Internet is not accessible, this feature can cause a delay of several
seconds when you access the CMC using the browser or a command line interface such as remote RACADM.
