2 Enter the telnet command in the command line, and provide
localhost as the IP address if the SOL Proxy server is running on the
same system and the port number that you specified in the SOL Proxy
installation (the default value is
623 ). For example:
telnet localhost 623
For Linux Enterprise Operating Systems:
1
Open a Linux shell on your management station.

of the SOL Proxy server and the port number that you specified in the

623 ). For example:
telnet localhost 623
NOTE: Whether your host operating system is Windows or Linux, if the SOL Proxy
server is running on a different system than your management station, input the SOL
Proxy server IP address instead of localhost.
telnet < SOL Proxy server IP address > 623
