Hey All,
Just a bit of personal back ground. Im relatively new to networking/servers. Passed CCENT last week and studying towards MCSA 2016 Win Server certification. Working in a GPS related industry.
Recently I have setup iLO for my 8th gen dl380, which was interesting. However, I am looking at studying remotely so would like access to iLO/Remote Access feature from external networks.
I have read a few articles on how this can be accomplished, however would like your opinion on which Router I should acquire (not compromising my current speeds etc). Currently I have a ISP issued router (2 of those actually) - Huawei HG659b. From what I've read it provides basic VPN passthrough, however it does not allow DDWRT/Tomato firmware upgrades. I have a fibre 100mbit connection (Chorus Fibre termination box installed inside home premises).
Basically, the main points I wish to achieve -
1. Connect to Server ILO interface from external network.
2. Have the option to turn off/on the server using ILO UI buttons as required (to save electricity and not having to worry about my house burning to rubble whilst im away). I can do this easly on home network but not sure how this could be impacted by the VPN (if at all)?
3. Hopefully the latency would be minor and I would still be able to achieve acceptable level of Labbing (for study).
4. Have you had the experience with this before for primarily ILO/Remote access purposes?
Would anyone have experience with this , I am seeking any advice on which router I should get, DDNS /VPN providers etc. All information/diagrams/resources are most welcome :)
Kind regards
