IMPORTANT!
Before you can connect to a 7000 Series device using SOL, you
must disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on any third-party switching
equipment connected to the device’s management interface.
Before you can restore an appliance using LOM, you must enable LOM for both
the appliance and the user who will perform the restore. Then, use a third-party
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) utility to access the appliance.
You must also make sure you redirect the appliance’s console output to the serial
port.

Before you can use LOM to restore an appliance, you must enable and configure
the feature. You must also explicitly grant LOM permissions to users who will use
the feature.
You configure LOM and LOM users on a per-appliance basis using each
appliance’s local web interface. That is, you cannot use the Defense Center to
configure LOM on a managed device. Similarly, because users are managed
independently per appliance, enabling or creating a LOM-enabled user on the
Defense Center does not transfer that capability to users on managed devices.
LOM users also have the following restrictions:
•
You must assign the Administrator role to the user.
•
The user name may have up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Hyphens and
longer user names are not supported for LOM users.
