The LOM feature allows you to perform a limited set of actions on a Series 3
Defense Center or managed device, using a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection.
With LOM, you use a command line interface on an out-of-band management
connection to perform tasks such as viewing the chassis serial number, or
monitoring conditions such as fan speed and temperature.
The syntax of LOM commands depends on the utility you are using, but LOM
commands generally contain the elements listed in the following table.
