ILOM
In systems management, out-of-band management involves the use of management interfaces (or serial ports) for managing networking equipment. Out-of-band (''OOB'') management is a networking term which refers to accessing and managing network infrastructure at remote locations, and doing it through a separate management plane from the production network. Cellular 4G and 5G networks are used today for out-of-band management and many manufacturers have it as a product offering. Out-of-band management is now considered an essential network component to ensure business continuity. Out-of-band management allows the network operator to establish trust boundaries in accessing the management function to apply it to network resources. It also can be used to ensure management connectivity (including the ability to determine the status of any network component) independent of the status of other ''in-band'' network components. In computing, one form of out-of-band management is sometimes ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
LOM Port
The LOM port ''(Lights Out Management port)'' is a remote access facility on a Sun Microsystems server. When the main processor is switched off, or when it is impossible to telnet to the server, an operator would use a link to the LOM port to access the server. As long as the server has power, the LOM facility will work, regardless of whether or not the main processor is switched on. To use the LOM port, a rollover cable is connected to the LOM port, which is located at the back of the Sun server. The other end of the cable is connected to a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulator. The terminal or emulator must be set to a transmission rate of 9600 bits per second, and hardware flow control enabled. Useful commands include: Specific implementations: * Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM), Sun Microsystems-specific and comes standard on newer Sun servers ( SunFire V125/V210/V215/V240/V245/V250/V440/T1000/T2000, Sun Netra 210/240/440). * Integrated Lights Out Managemen ...
