Determining the iLO MP LAN Configuration Method
To access the iLO MP through the iLO MP LAN, the iLO MP must acquire an IP address. The way the iLO
MP acquires an IP address is dependent upon whether DHCP is enabled or disabled on the server, and if
DHCP and DNS services are available to the server. (See Table 6-3 for possible scenarios.)
Once you have determined the iLO MP access, you must determine how you will configure the iLO MP LAN
in order to acquire an IP address using the following methods:
•
DHCP/DNS
•
ARP Ping
•
Local S-232 serial port
•
Remote/modem port
Table 6-3 provides all the possible scenarios to consider. Use this table to help you select the appropriate LAN
configuration method to obtain an IP address.
