Omconfig Chassis Remoteaccess Or Omconfig Mainsystem Remoteaccess

Use the omconfig chassis remoteaccess or omconfig mainsystem remoteaccess command to configure:
  • Remote access on a local area network (LAN).
  • The serial port for BMC or RAC, whichever is installed.
  • The BMC or RAC on a serial over LAN connection.
  • Terminal settings for the serial port.
  • Advanced settings for a serial over LAN connection.
  • Information on a BMC or RAC user.
  • Information on IPv6 and IPv4 interfaces.
  • NOTE: Enter the user ID to configure user information.
Type:
omconfig chassis remoteaccess
or

The output of the omconfig chassis remoteaccess or omconfig mainsystem remoteaccess command lists each of the available configurations. The following table displays the valid parameters:
Table 1. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Remoteaccess Or Omconfig Mainsystem Remoteaccess
name=value pair 1 config= name=value pair 2 Description
