How to Activate the Network
Management Port
Before You Begin
You must assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the network management port
before you can use it. If you are configuring the network management port for the
first time, you must first connect to the ALOM system controller using the serial
management port and assign an IP address to the network management port. You
can either assign an IP address manually, or you can configure the port to obtain an
IP address using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) from another
server.
Note – The IP address assigned to the network management port is a unique IP
address, separate from the main Sun Fire V440 server IP address.
Data centers frequently devote a separate subnet to system management. If your
data center has such a configuration, connect the network management port to this
subnet.
Note – The network management port is a 10BASE-T port and is dedicated for use
only with the ALOM system controller. The network management port does not
support connections to 100-Mbps or 1-Gbps networks.
