Introducing the Sun Fire V215 and V245 Servers 15
Ethernet Ports
The Sun Fire V215 and V245 servers each have four autonegotiating
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet system domain ports. All of the Ethernet ports use a
standard RJ-45 connector, the transfer rates for which are given in
TABLE 11.
In addition, each server has one 10BASE-T Ethernet management domain interface,
labeled NET MGT. For information on configuring this port for managing the server
with ALOM, see the Sun Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) Administration
Guide.
Serial Ports
The server has two serial ports, labelled SER MGT and SER TTYB. The SER MGT
port accepts an RJ-45 connector. Use this port only for server management. The port
labeled SER TTYB accepts an RJ-45 connector. Use this port for general purpose,
asynchronous serial data transfer.
For serial devices, use the SER TTYB port and an RJ-45 adaptor with a null modem
cable. This port appears as ttyb in Solaris OS and OpenBoot PROM messages and is
not connected to the SC serial management port.
The default serial connection settings are listed in
TABLE 12.
