Accessing Dell RAC(Remote Access Controller) over WAN/Internet

In order to access your Dell RAC from the Internet/WAN you will need to foward 3 ports on your router. RAC is a card that allows access to the server regardless of the servers state. From the web interface of the RAC you can reboot,start-up,shutdown the server. Check server status, view last crash screen, redirect the console over the connection and much more. RAC is Dell's version of HP's iLo(intergrated Lights-Out) port.





Foward the following ports on your router:
Port: 80
Port: 5900
Port: 443


Once these ports are fowarded you should be able to access you server's RAC by entering the following in a web browser(note the 's' in http, its important):

https://ip-address
or
https://domain-nam
