7.9 Serial over LAN
Serial over LAN (SoL) is a mechanism that enables the input and output of the serial port of a
managed system to be redirected on the network over TCP/IP. SoL provides a means to
manage servers remotely by using a command-line interface (CLI) over a Telnet or Secure
Shell (SSH) connection.
SoL can give you remote access to your X6 servers UEFI and power-on self test (POST)
messages. Using SoL, you can log in to the machine remotely. It can give you access to
special operating system functions during boot.
In the x3850 X6, the serial port is shared with the IMM2. The IMM2 can take control of the
shared serial port to perform text console redirection and to redirect serial traffic, using Serial
over LAN (SoL).
