Activating the Network Management
Port
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.
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.
