How to Configure ILOM Using a Static
IP Address
The most common approach to configuring the ILOM Service Processor is to use
DHCP and Ethernet. For more information about configuring ILOM this way, see
Section 3.3, “How To Configure ILOM Using an Ethernet Connection” on page 3-6
. If
you have limited DHCP services at your site or no DHCP services, you can also
configure ILOM using a static IP address.

CLI serial connection
■
