Loading ...DRAC IP port numbers
The DRAC (Dell Remote Access Controller) is an interface card by Dell which provides out-of-band management. The controller has its own processor, memory, battery, network connection, and access to the system bus. Key features include power management, virtual media access and remote console, all available through a supported web browser. This gives system administrators the ability to configure a machine as if they were sitting at the local console (terminal).
The DRAC card has several services bound on its dedicated IP; here is the list of the default ports and their usage:
- 22 Secure Shell
- 23 Telnet
- 80 HTTP
- 443 HTTPS
- 161 SNMP (UDP)
- 3668 Virtual Media server
- 5869 Remote racadm server
- 5900-5901 Console Redirection
This list can be useful, if you need to setup port forwarding, or firewall rules while working with DRAC cards. For more, check dell’s manuals.

Have you notice that your DRAC is amazingly slow? Mine all are. A reader on my blog said that the latest firmware fixed their issues, but I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.

@Matt: DRAC is by definition slow
. We are running various dell servers with various drac firmware’s (v4 and v5 based) but haven’t noticed that some particular version is *fast*. We usually upgrade to the latest firmware and most of the time we are uptodate.

Does this card run only with Dell Computers or with any standard PC?

@Goeldi: DRAC = Dell Remote Access Controller; this is a Dell card, and I doubt you will see this on a standard PC.

Nice Post. Saved me a buttload of time trying to wade my way through dell documention looking for standard ports. Has anyone seen a way to forward a particular VM id to an enterprise drac? I find it’s useless for ESX (the drac) , as all you can do is power cycle the host. Would be nice to find a way to re-direct a particular console vm id.
