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.

Table 5-2 KVMS Features and Encryption

KVMS Feature	Encrypted or Not Encrypted	Description

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.
