NOTE
The previous example shows the Main Menu screen accessed through the local serial or remote
modem ports. The list of commands displayed might be different and depends on your method
of access to the iLO MP.
Configuring the iLO MP LAN Information
LAN information includes the iLO MP network name, IP address information, and configuring DHCP and
DNS service information.
To configure the iLO MP LAN IP address:
Step 1.
At the iLO MP Main Menu prompt (
MP>
), enter
CM
to choose command mode.
Step 2.
At the command mode prompt (
MP:CM>
), enter
LC
(for LAN configuration).
The screen displays the default values and asks if you want to modify them. It is good practice to
write down the information, because you might need it for future troubleshooting. See “The LC
Command Screen” on page 210.
NOTE
The default value in the “IP address” field is set at the factory. You must configure
the actual iLO MP LAN IP address.
Step 3.
The screen displays the current
LC
data. When prompted to enter a parameter name,
A to modify
All
, or
Q to Quit
, enter
A
to choose all parameters.
Step 4.
The screen displays the current DHCP status. If DHCP is used to acquire IP address information,
enter
E
to enable,
D
to disable, or
Q
unless you are using the local serial port.
Step 5.
Enter the
LC
command to disable DHCP.
CAUTION
Modifying the DHCP status, IP address, gateway IP address, or subnet mask
parameters drops all present LAN and Web connections.
NOTE
Changing DHCP status to Enabled or Disabled resets IP address, gateway IP
address, and subnet mask parameters to factory default values. If DHCP status was
changed to disabled, you can change the values.
If the IP address, gateway IP address, and subnet mask are obtained through DHCP,
you cannot change them without first disabling DHCP.
Step 6.
The screen displays the current IP address. When prompted to enter a new value or
Q
, enter the
new IP address.
Step 7.
The screen displays the current host name. When prompted to enter a new value or
Q
, enter the
new iLO MP network name.
This is the host name for the iLO MP LAN displayed at the command prompt. It is also used to
identify the iLO MP LAN interface in a DNS database. The name can be up to 64 characters in
length, and must start with a letter, end with a letter or number, and contain only letters, numbers,
or dashes.
