netcon(1M) Communications

netcon(1M) uses two distinct paths for communicating console input/output between the SSP and a domain: the standard network interface and the CBE interface. Usually, when the domain is up and running, console traffic flows over the network. If the local network becomes inoperable, the communication mode of the netcon(1M) session automatically switches to the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) protocol through the CBS interface. You can switch to JTAG mode even when the network is inoperable. To perform this switch, use the ~= command in the netcon(1M) window.
