IP Port Number/Serial Port Number Cross-Reference
If you are assigning an IP address per console server serial port, enter the
following command on the client machine to directly access a serial port:
$ Telnet ip_addr_of_serial_port
or
, if the name of the console server can be resolved to an IP address (DNS):
$ Telnet dns_name_of_serial_port
This last method is more simple and straightforward for users to access serial
ports (actually, to access the device connected to the serial port).
Assume we have three devices connected to three different serial ports.
‹
Serial port 1 is connected to the console of a Sun server named
“quasar.”
‹
Serial port 2 is connected to the console of a SGI named “seyfert.”
‹
Serial port 3 is connected to the console of an HP named “stellar.”
We assigned a distinct IP address to each console server serial port. Then, we
associated these three IP addresses to the names
c_quasar , c_seyfert, and
c_stellar in the DNS system.
The command to access the console of “seyfert” is:
$ Telnet c_seyfert
Using either of the two methods above, the user can directly connect to a serial
port without actually logging on to the console server and entering the
appropriate
direct
command. Note that the only action supported is the direct
connection to a port.
