TCP/IP ports on the XCC, IMM2 and CMM
management processors
Reference Information
The systems management processors (also known as service processors) integrated in ThinkSystem,
System x, Flex System, and BladeCenter servers use a variety of TCP/IP ports for communication. This
document lists them and indicates which ones the administrator can and cannot change. You need to
ensure that your network (firewalls and routers) allows communications through these ports for the
management processor to function properly.
The management processors covered are:
XClarity Controller (XCC)
Chassis Management Module (CMM and CMM2)
Integrated Management Module II (IMM2 and IMM2.1)
Integrated Management Module (IMM)
BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM)
BladeCenter Management Module (MM)
Remote Supervisor Adapter II (RSA II)
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
