Managing the Linux system server profile via the COM port
This paper briefly introduces how to extend through the common COM port to the Linux server console, which is practical and simple, without the restriction of condition of network server, you can easily manage the actual production environment in the Linux server.
When it comes to managing the Linux server, you will have many different ways: keyboard + display, through the network login, X tools, the WEB system under a graphical tool based on these methods, there is no problem in the common server or your PC server, but to manage a 24X7 server mode. Ensure that can direct and efficient management to the server in any case, it is not so easy.
Compare several ways mentioned above:
Graphical tools for X systems. This is of course the interface is very friendly way, but also can be extended to the remote X system through the network, but the network is not so reliable, if the server network paralysis, you just need to solve the problem of remote network, how to do?
WEB based tools. The interface in this way is also quite friendly, such as webadmin, but because of security issues, these tools are not installed on really important servers, and this way is also limited to the network;
Login via network. This is a common way to general server will trust the remote site open SSH service, so that maintenance personnel can telnet routine maintenance, it is very safe, but unfortunately it is based on the network, but also limited by the network;
Keyboard + display. This is the safest way, I recommend the use of the safest way, but unfortunately this is also flawed, there is a lot of the server are not equipped with a display and a keyboard, even if there is only used when installing the system, once put into operation will no longer use the display and keyboard.
In fact, for the UNIX/Linux system server, you can extend the system console thr
