■
Serial connection requirements. If you are assigning an IP address via the serial
connection of the server module, you should have:
■
Established console access to the server module through a serial connection.
For details, see

Ethernet Connection Requirements. If you are assigning an IP via the
management port on the CMM, you should have:

If you intend to have DHCP IP addresses assigned, you need to have an
established DHCP server on the same local network as the Sun Blade 8000 Series
system. Setting up a DHCP server is out of the scope of this guide; see the
documentation supplied with the DHCP server software.
