Introduction
The KVM console is a video over IP representation of the video output on the blade. The KVM console
access to server blades in Cisco UCS is conceptually similar to any industry standard KVM console access to
the blade. This configuration example describes how to access the KVM console from the blade view via the
Unified Computing System (UCS) Manager. Additionally, once the server profile association is complete, you
can access the same KVM console from the Server Profile view as well. The KVM console service is
provided by the blade's BMC and can be accessed via the external IP address only (that is, a pool of external
routable addresses).
In order to use the KVM console to access the blade server, a pool of IP addresses is assigned as a
management interface into the server blades. These IP addresses represent the KVM console access. Note that
these IP addresses need to be externally routable for remote access to the servers via the KVM console.
This configuration example describes how to configure KVM console access to the blade in the Cisco UCS
environment via these methods:
•
UCS Manager GUI
•
UCS Manager CLI
Prerequisites
Requirements
Cisco recommends that you:
•
Have a working knowledge of Cisco UCS server blade software and hardware.
•
Be familiar with the UCS management application.
•
Understand the impact and implications of the different commands described in this document.
•
Be familiar with the UCS components and topology. Refer to the Network Diagram for a typical
solution.

    Components Used The information in this document is based on the Cisco Unified Computing System. The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
  • Page 3 Enter the appropriate information in order to create the block of IP addresses, and then click OK. Note: The IP addresses in the block must be routable outside. UCS Manager CLI Complete these steps in order to use the UCS CLI to configure KVM console access to the blade server: Enter org mode.
