This 12665824d651Sblueswir1is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf.

Any time QEMU writes something to that port it 27295824d651Sblueswir1will appear in the netconsole session. 27305824d651Sblueswir1 27315824d651Sblueswir1If you plan to send characters back via netconsole or you want to stop 2732b65ee4faSStefan Weiland start QEMU a lot of times, you should have QEMU use the same 27335824d651Sblueswir1source port each time by using something like @code{-serial 2734b65ee4faSStefan Weiludp::4555@@:4556} to QEMU. Another approach is to use a patched 27355824d651Sblueswir1version of netcat which can listen to a TCP port and send and receive 27365824d651Sblueswir1characters via udp. If you have a patched version of netcat which 27375824d651Sblueswir1activates telnet remote echo and single char transfer, then you can 27385824d651Sblueswir1use the following options to step up a netcat redirector to allow 2739b65ee4faSStefan Weiltelnet on port 5555 to access the QEMU port. 27405824d651Sblueswir1@table @code 2741071c9394SStefan Weil@item QEMU Options: 27425824d651Sblueswir1-serial udp::4555@@:4556 27435824d651Sblueswir1@item netcat options: 27445824d651Sblueswir1-u -P 4555 -L 0.0.0.0:4556 -t -p 5555 -I -T 27455824d651Sblueswir1@item telnet options: 27465824d651Sblueswir1localhost 5555 27475824d651Sblueswir1@end table 27485824d651Sblueswir1 27495dd1f02bSCorey Minyard@item tcp:[@var{host}]:@var{port}[,@var{server}][,nowait][,nodelay][,reconnect=@var{seconds}] 27505824d651Sblueswir1The TCP Net Console has two modes of operation.

If you use 27535824d651Sblueswir1the @var{server} option QEMU will wait for a client socket application 27545824d651Sblueswir1to connect to the port before continuing, unless the @code{nowait} 27555824d651Sblueswir1option was specified. The @code{nodelay} option disables the Nagle buffering 27565dd1f02bSCorey Minyardalgorithm. The @code{reconnect} option only applies if @var{noserver} is 27575dd1f02bSCorey Minyardset, if the connection goes down it will attempt to reconnect at the 27585dd1f02bSCorey Minyardgiven interval. If @var{host} is omitted, 0.0.0.0 is assumed. Only 27595824d651Sblueswir1one TCP connection at a time is accepted.

The 27735824d651Sblueswir1difference is that the port acts like a telnet server or client using 27745824d651Sblueswir1telnet option negotiation.
