Available Connections
Please read all of the information for each of the available connections prior to cabling the Netra X5-2 for Communications.
Port | Description | You Need |
---|---|---|
NET (0-3) | 10 GigE ports - labeled Net 3, Net 2, Net 1 and Net 0 (left to right). Enables you to connect the Netra X5-2 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 1 - 3 |
NET MGT | Provides a 10/100BASE-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

SER MGT (COM1) | Provides a TIA/EIA-232 serial Oracle/Cisco
standard connection to the SP through an RJ-45 connector. Default settings:
8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit 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 USB connections to the SP. The USB ports are hot pluggable, so you can connect and disconnect USB cables from these ports and peripheral devices without affecting server operations. | USB keyboard
USB mouse Note: Maximum USB cable length: 5 meters |
VIDEO | Provides a temporary video connection to the SP. | VGA monitor
HDB-15 video cable with a maximum cable length of 6 meters (19.7 feet) |
