How to Access the System Console via a Terminal Server

The following procedure assumes that you are accessing the system console device by connecting a terminal server to the serial management port (SERIAL MGT) of the Sun Fire V440 server.

For detailed information about system console options, see the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide.

1.Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type:

%telnet IP-address-of-terminal-server port-number

For example, for a Sun Fire V440 server connected to port 10000 on a terminal server whose IP address is 192.20.30.10, you would type:

%telnet 192.20.30.10 10000

Note – At this point, all system information will be delivered to you by way of the ALOM system controller and its software. ALOM is the default method for communicating with the Sun Fire V440 server. For detailed information about using ALOM, consult the Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) 1.1 Online Help and the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide, which includes information about reconfiguration options.

2.Continue setup with the section, “Prepare to Configure the Primary Network Interface” on page 41.
