▼ To Reconfigure ALOM to Use the Ethernet (NET
MGT) Port
By default, ALOM uses the serial management port (SERIAL MGT) to communicate
with a serial device. If desired, you can reconfigure ALOM to use the Ethernet
network management (NET MGT) port, and then you can connect to ALOM through
the telnet command.
Note – ALOM supports only 10-Mbit networks.
To configure the ALOM software to communicate using the NET MGT port, you
must specify values for the network interface variables. The setupsc script helps
you do this.
1. Run the setupsc script. Type:
The setup script starts. Answer the questions in the script. The script asks:
2. Type y.
The script asks:
3. Type true or press Return to enable the network interface.
This sets a value for the if_network variable.
4. Provide values for the following variables in the script:
■ if_modem (specify false)
■ netsc_dhcp (true or false)
■ netsc_ipaddr (IP address)
■ netsc_ipnetmask (netmask)
■ netsc_ipgateway (IP address)
■ netsc_tpelinktest (true or false)
5. When you have finished setting up the network interface variables, type Ctrl-Z to
save your changes and exit the setupsc script.

Do you wish to configure the enabled interfaces [y]?
Should the SC network interface be enabled?
