Connecting An Ethernet Port - Sun Oracle SPARC Enterprise M9000 Installation Manual

3.7.3

Connecting an Ethernet Port

The system control network enables you to connect the administration console to the XSCF
unit. A direct connection can be established for this purpose. However, this type of
connection is usually made through a hub or switch that is unique to the system control
network.
Note – The XSCF Ethernet port is IEEE 802.3i and IEEE 802.3u compliant. This requires
auto-negotiation for the port into which it terminates.
For information on network connection patterns, see
Outline" on page
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect Ethernet port 0 on the XSCF unit (XSCF-LAN) to
the hub or the LAN port of the administration console.
For connection examples for the administration console, see
Ethernet Port 0 of the XSCF Unit

Port 0
2. From a telnet or a secure shell (SSH) client, specify the IP address and host name of
the XSCF, and the port number if necessary, and establish a connection to the XSCF
Shell via the XSCF-LAN.
Note – The default port number for telnet is 23, and the default port number for SSH is 22.
3. Log into the XSCF Shell at the administration console via the serial port.
For information on the logging-in procedure, see
page
Note – During login using SSH, you are prompted to confirm the authenticity of the
fingerprint of the host public key. The reply is yes because no spoofing is assumed in this
one-to-one connection.
