Advanced management module serial port settings
You can configure the communications settings for the advanced management
module serial port, such as the baud rate, error checking parity, and number of
stop bits.
The serial port is a RJ-45 connector located on the back of the advanced
management module. Connections made using the serial port can access only the
advanced management module command-line interface.
Advanced management module port assignments
Determine how to configure the ports on the advanced management module.
Typically, you will not need to change port assignments from the default values. If
you do experience conflicts after initial setup, you can change the port settings at a
later time.
The following advanced management module ports can be configured:
v HTTP
v HTTPS
v Telnet
