The console of the server on which the service processor resides, in one of

command in the following
format
ssh -t allSPs:sp2@192.168.1.1 devconsole
OR
•
In the Web Manager on the OnBoard, clicking the “Device Console”
link on the Access Devices screen.
Why Define Virtual (DNAT) Addresses?
A virtual network based on Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT)
should be defined in the following cases:
•
To hide the addresses of the connected devices from users by the use of
virtual IP addresses.
Caution!
When an authorized user has service processor access, device
console access, or native IP access, there is no way to prevent that user from
seeing the IP address of the device while the user is connected.
It is possible and desirable to hide devices’ real IP addresses from users
who are authorized to access all other device management capabilities
other than native IP, service processor console, or device console.
•
When multiple
private subnets
must be supported, and you do not want to
require authorized users to configure routes to each network.
For example, if three connected devices have addresses 192.168.0.1,
10.0.25, and 17.10.11.12, three private subnets could be defined. A virtual
network would map the IP addresses from the three private subnets to
virtual IP addresses in the same virtual network range.
