Chapter 5 Configure Ports 60
This chapter shows how to configure serial ports, both physical serial ports
and remote ports, which are any type of ports that can be accessed using
Telnet, SSH, or Raw TCP protocol, including support for the ALOM, ILOM,
iLO, IPMI, DRAC, and SMASH protocols. It presents a quick-start method
for configuring all serial ports quickly. It then reviews basic and advanced
serial port settings, which can be modified from the factory default settings
as needed. It also covers configuring remote ports.
Key serial port configuration settings include whether the port is enabled or
disabled, the host mode, which defines a type of communication between
the port and a remote host, the protocol, authentication, user access
restrictions, and serial communication attributes. The Digi Passport unit
can also be configured to automatically recognize the type of devices
connected to serial ports.
Next, the chapter reviews basic and advanced serial port settings, which
can be modified or restored to the factory default settings, and resetting
port connections. It also covers configuring and removing remote ports.
