display, such as Windows, the SoL session will no longer display. If the server boots a command-line-oriented operating system (OS), such as Linux, you may need to perform additional configuration of the OS in order to properly display in an SoL session.

In the SoL session, your keystrokes are transmitted to the console except for the function key F2. To send an F2 to the console, press the Escape key, then press 2.

Configuring Serial Over LAN

Before You Begin

You must log in as a user with admin privileges to configure serial over LAN (SoL).

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Server# scope sol	Enters SoL command mode.
Step 2	Server /sol # set enabled	Enables or disables SoL on this server.
	{yes no}

Step 3 Server /sol # set baud-rate{9600 19200 38400 57600 115200}

Step 4 Server /sol # set comport {com0 com1

Sets the serial baud rate the system uses for SoL communication.

Note The baud rate must match the baud rate configured in the server serial console.

(Optional)

Sets the serial port through which the system routes SoL communications.

Note This field is only available on some C-Series servers. If it is not available, the server always uses COM port 0 for SoL communication.

You can specify:

•com0—SoL communication is routed through COM port 0, an externally accessible serial port that supports either a physical RJ45 connection to an external device or a virtual SoL connection to a network device.

If you select this option, the system enables SoL and disables the RJ45 connection, which means that the server can no longer support an external serial device.

•com1—SoL communication is routed through COM port 1, an internal port accessible only through SoL.

If you select this option, you can use SoL on COM port 1 and the physical RJ45 connection on COM port 0.

Note Changing the comport setting disconnects any existing SoL sessions.

Step 5 Server /sol # commit Commits the transaction to the system configuration.
