## How to Connect to the Serial Console Using the ILOM Command-Line Interface

Before You Begin

- Connect the server to your network through an Ethernet cable. See Server Connections.

- If you have not already done so, determine the service processor’s IP address. See Determining the SP IP Address.

1. Using a client system, establish a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the service processor’s IP address:

   `ssh -l root` sp_ip_address

2. Log in to the service processor as an administrator.

   The default user name is `root` and default password is `changeme`.

   Note - Only accounts with Administrator privileges are enabled to configure the SP serial port. See “Configuring Network Settings” in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide.

3. Start the ILOM console mode by typing the following:

   `start /SP/console`

4. If you have changed the SP Serial Port default settings, make sure you reset them to the default settings.
