HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 - Manual (Page 60)

Network
The Network Settings and DCHP/DNS tabs of the Network section enable you to view and modify
network settings for iLO 2.
Only users with the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege can change these settings. Users that do
not have the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege can view the assigned settings.
To change network settings for iLO 2:
1. Log in to iLO 2 using an account that has the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege. Click
Administration>Network.
2. Select Network Settings or DHCP/DNS.
3. Change the settings as needed.
4. After completing any parameter changes, click Apply to complete the changes.
iLO 2 restarts, and the connection of your browser to iLO 2 terminates. To reestablish a connection,
wait 60 seconds before launching another browser session and logging in.
Network Settings
The Network Settings page displays the NIC IP address, subnet mask, and other TCP/IP-related
information and settings. From the Network Settings screen, you can enable or disable DHCP and
configure a static IP address for servers not using DHCP. All users can view the network settings,
but only users with the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege can change these settings. To access the
Network Settings page, click Administration>Network>Network. The Network Settings page
appears with the following information and settings:
•
NIC enables you to set the iLO 2 NIC to Enabled, Disabled, or to Shared Network Port.
Enabled – Enables the primary iLO 2 network interface. ◦
◦ Disabled – Disables the iLO 2 network interface. You must use the iLO 2 RBSU or other
host-based scripting utility to re-enable the network interface.
◦ Shared Network Port – Enables networking using the designated host Ethernet port. The
port appears as two separate Ethernet MACs and IP addresses on the network. For more
information, see
“iLO 2 Shared Network Port” (page 61) .
•
DHCP enables you to select static IP (disabled) or enables the use of a DHCP server to obtain
an IP address for the Integrated Lights-Out 2 subsystem.
You cannot set the iLO 2 IP Address and Subnet Mask if DHCP is enabled. Disabling DHCP
enables you to configure the IP address. The IP Address field also appears on the DHCP/DNS
Settings page for convenience. Changing the value on either page changes the DHCP setting.
•
IP Address is the iLO 2 IP address. If DHCP is used, the iLO 2 IP address is automatically
supplied. If not, enter a static IP address. The IP Address field appears on the DHCP/DNS
page for convenience. Entering values in the field on either page changes the IP address of
the iLO 2.
•
Subnet Mask is the subnet mask of the iLO 2 IP network. If DHCP is used, the Subnet Mask is
automatically supplied. If not, enter the subnet mask for the network.
•
Gateway IP Address displays the IP address of the network gateway. If DHCP is in use, the
Gateway IP Address is automatically supplied. If not, enter the network gateway address.
