7.1.1 Out-of-Band Connections
With the out-of-band serial port connection, you can use a Solaris
tip
session or a
Microsoft Windows terminal emulation program to access the firmware application.
For details, see “Setting Up the Serial Port Connection” on page E-1.
With the out-of-band Ethernet port connection, you can use the telnet command to

You can also configure an array over the Ethernet connection with the SANscape CLI

publicly routable network.
