Description
Provides a 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet connection to the
Service Processor (SP)
through an RJ-45 connector.
The NET MGT port provides
support connections to the SP
using the Oracle Integrated
Lights Out Manager (ILOM)
CLI and Web interface. By
default, the NET MGT port is
configured to use DHCP to
automatically obtain an IP
address. Alternatively, you can
assign a static IP address to
the NET MGT port. To use the
NET MGT port, you must
configure its network settings.
Once configured, use the NET
MGT port IP address to log on
to the device using a browser
or secure shell.
Provides a TIA/EIA-232 serial
Oracle/Cisco standard
connection to the SP through
an RJ-45 connector. Default
settings:
8N1: eight data bits, no parity,
one stop bit
115200 baud
Disable hardware flow control
(CTS/RTS)
Disable software flow control
(XON/XOFF)
Provides USB connections to
the SP. The USB ports are hot
pluggable, so you can connect
and disconnect USB cables
from these ports and
peripheral devices without
affecting server operations.
Provides a temporary video
connection to the SP.
