<h1 class="topictitle1">Connect the virtual console</h1>
<div><p>The virtual console provides the console function for the Linux
server.</p>
<div class="p"><p>The virtual console is used primarily during the initial install
of Linux. The virtual console can also be used to view server errors or to
restore communication to the LAN. This console connection is used prior to
configuring TCP/IP.</p>
<p>Any Telnet client can be used as the Linux console.
Multiple Telnet clients can share access to the same virtual console. To connect
to a console, you will have to Telnet to port 2301 of the primary or server.
TCP/IP must be configured and running on at least one i5/OS<sup>®</sup> partition. The example below uses
the IBM<sup>®</sup> Personal
Communications client.</p>
