Chapter 4. Configuring Serial over Local Area Network
The Gigabit Ethernet switch module supports Serial over Local Area Network
(SOL) protocol with all BladeCenter processors. The Gigabit Ethernet switch
module must be installed in the I/)-module bay 1 for SOL support. SOL virtual
local area network (VLAN) support for the Gigabit Ethernet switch module
and the management module must each be configured with VLAN
information.
Configuring SOL on the management module
To configure the management module for SOL, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the management module as described in the BladeCenter
Management Module User's Guide. If necessary, obtain the IP address of the
management module from your system administrator. The
management-module window opens.
2. From the Blade Tasks menu, click Serial Over LAN. The Serial Over LAN
(SOL) window opens.
3. Click Serial Over LAN Configuration. The Serial Over LAN Configuration
window opens.
4. In the SOL VLAN ID field, enter the applicable VLAN ID number; then
click Save.
5. Click Enable Serial Over LAN.
Configuring SOL on the Gigabit Ethernet switch module
To configure SOL on the Gigabit Ethernet switch module, complete the
following steps:
1. Open a console window.
2. From console prompt, type telnet x and press Enter.
Where x is the IP address for your Gigabit Ethernet switch module
3. Enter your password. If you do not have an assigned initial password, type
the default password (PASSW0RD, where 0 is a zero) and press Enter. A
Telnet session opens.
Note: You must make sure that the SOL VLAN on the management
