To Activate The Network Management Port - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Manual

Note – The network management port is a 10BASE-T port. The IP address assigned
to the network management port is a unique IP address, separate from the main Sun
Fire V445 server IP address, and is dedicated for use only with the ALOM system
controller. For more information, see
page 77.

To Activate the Network Management Port

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the network management port.
2. Log in to the ALOM system controller through the serial management port.
For more information about connecting to the serial management port, see
"Using the Serial Management Port" on page
3. Assign IP addresses by typing one of the following commands:
If your network uses static IP addresses, type:
TABLE 2-5
sc> setsc if_network true
sc> setsc netsc_ipaddr ip-address
sc> setsc netsc_ipnetmask ip-address
sc> setsc netsc_ipgateway ip-address
Note – The if_network command requires resetting the SC before the changes
take effect. Reset the SC with the resetsc command after changing network
parameters.
If your network uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), type:
TABLE 2-6
sc> setsc netsc_dhcp
4. Select the communications protocol, either Telnet, SSH, or none, type:
TABLE 2-7
sc> setsc if_connection none|ssh|telnet
Note – none is the default.
