Configures remote console access for the system via the eth0 interface. When configured, a client using the Serial Over LAN protocol can connect to the remote console, providing access similar to a direct serial port connection.
Be cautious when configuring this object. When enabled, this object makes the serial console accessible. If eth0 is configured as part of a private network and is behind a firewall, remote console access is secure. However, if the interface is public, enabling this object makes the serial console publicly available. Do not configure this object without first contacting Oracle Technical Support.
admin: Sets the administrative state of the remote console configuration.
Default: enabled
Values: enabled | disabled
Example: set admin disabled
ip-address: Sets the IP address on the eth0 interface, for the remote console.
Default: There is no default setting
Example: set ip-address 172.168.10.10/32
default-gateway: Sets the IP address for the default gateway used to reach this console address.
Default: There is no default setting
Example: set default-gateway 172.168.10.10
