• Server Name or Port Name/Number – The type of connection determines
the type of name applied:
• Individual KVM ports are either labelled by the port number in the form
Port_# or by an administrator-defined alias, which should describe the
type of computer connected to the port or be the actual name of the
connected server.
• Individual in-band connections are labelled by an administrator-defined
server name, which should identify the type of computer being accessed
or be the actual name of the server.
Note: A server that is configured for both in-band and KVM connections can have
two different aliases configured: one for the KVM port and one for the in-
band connection. In this case, the alias that appears in the Connect to Server
drop-down list is the alias assigned to the KVM port.
Port Numbers of Cascaded KVM Devices in the Connect to
Server Drop-down List
In the Connect to Server drop-down list on the Connect to Server form, a
name and a number connected by a period (.) indicate the alias or name of the
cascaded KVM unit followed by its physical port.
For example, in the port name kvm2.4, kvm2 is the name of the cascaded
device, and 4 is the physical port on the device named kvm2.
