Determining the iLO 3 MP LAN Configuration Method
To access the iLO 3 MP through the iLO 3 MP LAN, the iLO 3 MP must acquire an IP address.
The way the iLO 3 MP acquires an IP address depends on whether DHCP is enabled or disabled
on the server, and if DHCP and DNS services are available to the server. (See
Table 2-7
for possible
scenarios.)
Once you have determined the iLO 3 MP access, you must determine how you will configure
the iLO 3 MP LAN to acquire an IP address using the following methods:
•
DHCP/DNS
•
Local RS-232 serial port
Table 2-7
provides all the possible scenarios. Use this table to help you select the appropriate
LAN configuration method to obtain an IP address.

Once you have determined how you will configure the iLO 3 MP LAN in order to acquire an IP
address, you must configure the iLO 3 MP LAN using the selected method.
Configuring the iLO 3 MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically configures all DHCP-enabled
servers with IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway addresses. All HP Integrity entry class
servers with iLO 3 MP are shipped from the factory with DHCP enabled.
When you use DHCP and DNS, you can connect to the iLO 3 MP by typing the default host name
in your browser rather than an IP address only if the following conditions apply:
•
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
