Console Login
The console login supports the following methods.
Web Remote Console Login
aBMC provides a visual Web management interface for server-wide monitoring, hardware operations and maintenance, firmware upgrades, and other operations.
Environment Preparation
Server Network Cabling
Before logging in, connect the aBMC management network port to the LAN and ensure Layer 3 connectivity between the operation PC and the BMC management IP.
Two types of management network ports are supported; choose as needed:
- Shared network port: Reuses the server's service NIC, carrying both service traffic and BMC management traffic;
- Dedicated MGMT network port: An independent hardware network port that carries only BMC management commands, isolating the service network.
Query the aBMC Management IP
You can run the ip / ifconfig commands in the server's local Linux system to read the MGMT network port IP address.
Web Client Environment Requirements
The browser compatibility and resolution standards are as follows:
| Browser | Minimum Version | Resolution Requirement |

Advancedon the page; - Select
Proceed to (site) (unsafe)to ignore the certificate warning and jump to the login page. - Enter the default account and password to log in and enter the system overview dashboard:
- Device panel: View the hardware running status of the ARM compute units and execute underlying Shell commands;
- Firmware upgrade page: Batch update the firmware of each compute unit;
Security tip: On first login, change the default account password immediately and update it regularly to reduce the risk of device intrusion. For complete feature descriptions, refer to the accompanying "aBMC User Guide".
Console Serial Login
- Use an RJ45 serial cable to connect the server's Console port to the debug terminal;
- Configure the terminal software parameters:
- Baud rate: 115200
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: None
- After the connection is established, enter the BMC Linux account and password;
- After login is complete, you can execute underlying system query commands.
SSH Remote Login
- Use the system's built-in
sshtool or a terminal application such as MobaXterm locally; - Enter the aBMC management IP and the default account and password to complete the login.
