Base Module

2.4.Service Processor (SP)

This system contains interfaces to offer advanced system management and RAS function to the user. The service processor (hereafter called the “SP”) in the iSP implements these capabilities.

2.4.1.Console Connection and Login

2.4.1.1.Type of Console Connections

The iSP supports two types of console connections: i.e. local console connection via serial port and LAN console connection via TCP port 5001.

Either type of connection provides completely identical user interface, except that all LAN configuration such as IP address setting can only be done from the local console.

For the details of serial port and LAN configuration, refer to the “SG Command Reference.”
