Cisco Systems LAIRCTVM5K9 manual

∙Physical Serial Port on the Host: The vWLC￿s virtual serial port is mapped to the hardware serial port on the server. This option is limited to the number of physical serial port(s) on the host. If in a multi−tenant vWLC scenario, this may not be ideal.

∙Connect via Network: The vWLC￿s virtual serial port can be accessed using Telnet session from a remote machine to a specific port allocated for the VM on hypervisor. For example, if the hypervisor￿s IP address is 10.10.10.10 and the port allocated for a vWLC VM is 9090, using "telnet 10.10.10.10 9090", just like accessing a physical WLC￿s console using a Cisco terminal server, the vWLC￿s serial console can be accessed.

Complete these steps:

1. On the vWLC Hardware tab, click Add.

2. On the vWLC Hardware tab, click Add.

3. In this example, choose Connect via Network, and click Next.

4.Go to Select Network Backing:

♦For Network Backing, choose Server (VM listens for connection).

♦For Port URI, enter telnet://<host>:<port> (for example, telnet://10.10.10.10:9090).
