Port Description You Need:
NET (0-2)

From left to right:

  • 1 GigE ports - Net 0
  • 10 GigE ports - Net 1, Net 2

Enables you to connect the Netra X7-2 to your network.

A Category 6 (or better) Ethernet cable to connect to the NET 0 port to your network

Network parameters such as an IP address (can be provided by DHCP services or assigned a static address in the OS)

Additional Category 6 (or better) Ethernet cables and Ethernet addresses as needed for additional connections to NET 0, 1 and 2.

NET MGT Provides a 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet connection to the Service Processor (SP) through an RJ-45 connector. The NET MGT port provides support connections to the SP using the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) CLI and Web interface. By default, the NET MGT port is configured to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address. Alternatively, you can assign a static IP address to the NET MGT port. To use the NET MGT port, you must configure its network settings. Once configured, use the NET MGT port IP address to log on to the device using a browser or secure shell. Category 6 (or better) Ethernet cable to connect the NET MGT port to your network

IP address for this port (required from DHCP or a static address)

SER MGT (COM1) Provides a TIA/EIA-232 serial Oracle/Cisco standard connection to the SP through an RJ-45 connector.

This interface connects to either Service Processor by default, but can be redirected to the host.

Default settings:
  • 8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
  • 9600 baud (change to 115200 baud)
  • Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
  • Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)
A terminal device (e.g., terminal, connection to a terminal server, or computer such as a laptop running terminal emulation software)

A cable to connect the terminal device to the SER MGT (COM1) port

USB Provides USB3.0 connection to the computer. The USB port is hot pluggable, so you can connect and disconnect USB cables without affecting server operations. Installation media

Note: Maximum USB cable length: 5 meters
