Configuring the iLO MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS
Chapter 6

Once you have determined how you will configure the iLO MP LAN in order to acquire an IP address, you
must configure the iLO MP LAN using the selected method.
Configuring the iLO MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS
DHCP automatically configures all DHCP-enabled servers with IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway
addresses. All HP Integrity entry class servers with the iLO MP are shipped from the factory with DHCP
enabled.
HP recommends using the DHCP and DNS method to simplify access to the iLO MP.
When you use DHCP and DNS, you can connect to the iLO MP by typing the default host name in your
browser rather than an IP address only if the following applies:
•
DHCP must be enabled (DHCP is enabled by default).
•
You are using a DHCP server that provides the domain name and the primary DNS server IP address.
•
The primary DNS server accepts dynamic DNS (DDNS) updates.
•
The primary DNS server IP address has been configured through the DHCP server.
To configure the iLO MP using DHCP and DNS, follow these steps:
Step 1.
Obtain the factory-set host name from the iLO MP Media Access Protocol (MAC) address label on
the rear of the server. The default host name is 14 characters long, consisting of the letters
mp
followed by the 12 characters of the MAC address (example: mp0014c29c064f). This address is
assigned to the iLO MP iLO hardware. The iLO hardware has a unique MAC address that
identifies the hardware on the network.
IMPORTANT
Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO hardware and not the MAC
address to the server core LAN card.
Step 2.
Connect the LAN cable from the server to an active network port.
Step 3.
Apply AC power to the server.
