KVMS Remote
Communication and Encryption
The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console, Remote System Console
Plus, and the CLI Storage Redirection applications use a series
of network protocols to remotely communicate with Oracle ILOM. Using
these Java applications, you can control the host keyboard and mouse
and mount a local storage device (such as a CD or DVD drive) on
the remote server.
The following table describes, in more detail, the way in
which Remote KVMS information is transmitted over the network.

Mouse Redirection |
Encrypted |
The coordinates of your mouse are securely
sent over the network to Oracle ILOM. |
Keyboard redirection |
Encrypted |
Any characters that you type on the client
machine are transmitted to Oracle ILOM using an encrypted protocol. |
Video redirection |
Encrypted |
The video data is transmitted using an
encrypted protocol between the Java client and Oracle ILOM. |
Storage Redirection |
Not Encrypted |
Data read and written to a storage device
is transmitted over the network to Oracle ILOM without encryption. |
