3-4 Verifying networking The next step is to verify that the blade workstation is accessible over the network using NIC1, NIC2, and iLO 2. By default, the NIC1, NIC2, and iLO 2 IP addresses are set by DHCP. Therefore, ensure that the blade workstation can connect to a DHCP server. NOTE: The following steps are based on continued use of a keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected to the Local I/O Cable. 3-4-1 NIC1 and NIC2 verification The ipconfig command should be used to verify that the NIC1 and NIC2 IP addresses have been set by DHCP. Alternatively, you can specify a static IP address and Subnet mask for each NIC. The simplest way to verify NIC1 and NIC2 operation is to access the blade System Management Homepage (SMH) from your PC. To verify NIC1 and NIC2, point a browser window at each of their IP addresses using HTTPS protocol and port 2381 (see Figure 3-5). The SMH page should appear using each NIC. For more information about SMH, see Section 12-4, "System Management Homepage."

3-4 Verifying networking
The next step is to verify that the blade workstation is accessible over the network using NIC1, NIC2, and iLO 2.
By default, the NIC1, NIC2, and iLO 2 IP addresses are set by DHCP. Therefore, ensure that the blade
workstation can connect to a DHCP server.
NOTE:
The following steps are based on continued use of a keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected to the
Local I/O Cable.
3-4-1 NIC1 and NIC2 verification
The
ipconfig
command should be used to verify that the NIC1 and NIC2 IP addresses have been set by
DHCP. Alternatively, you can specify a static IP address and Subnet mask for each NIC.
The simplest way to verify NIC1 and NIC2 operation is to access the blade System Management Homepage
(SMH) from your PC. To verify NIC1 and NIC2, point a browser window at each of their IP addresses using
HTTPS protocol and port 2381 (see Figure 3-5). The SMH page should appear using each NIC. For more
information about SMH, see Section 12-4, “
System Management Homepage
.”
