Host Name HTTP The name of a particular machine within a domain. Host names always map to a specific Internet Protocol (IP) address. The Internet protocol that retrieves hypertext objects from remote hosts. HTTP messages consist of requests from client to server and responses from server to client. HTTP is based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). I In-band system management Integrated Lights Out (iLO) IP IP Address IPMI A server management capability that is enabled only when the operating system is initialized and the server is functioning properly. The iLO functionality offers remote server management through an independent management processor (MP). iLO was introduced into most Integrity entry class servers in late 2004. Prior to that, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under the heading of "iLO". Therefore, "iLO" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers. Internet Protocol. IP specifies the format of packets and the packet addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255, for example, 1.160.10.240. Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates. A hardware-level interface specification designed primarily for the out-of-band management of server systems over a number of different physical interconnects. The IPMI specification describes extensive abstractions regarding sensors, enabling a management application running on the operating system (OS) or in a remote system to comprehend the environmental makeup of the system and to register with the system's IPMI subsystem to receive events. IPMI is compatible with management software from heterogeneous vendors. IPMI functionality includes FRU inventory reporting, system monitoring, logging, system recovery (including local and remote system resets, and power on and power off capabilities), and alerting. L LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. A directory service protocol used for the storage, retrieval, and distribution of information, including user profiles, distribution lists, and configuration data. LDAP runs over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) across multiple platforms. M Managed Object Management Information Base (MIB) Management Processor (MP) Media Access Control (MAC) The actual item in the system environment that is accessed by the provider. For example, a Network Interface Card. A MIB defines the properties of the managed object within the device to be managed. Every managed device keeps a database of values for each definition written in the MIB. It is not the actual database itself; it is implementation dependant. The component that provides a LAN interface to the system console and system management. Prior to iLO, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under the heading of "iLO". Therefore, "iLO" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers Worldwide unique, 48-bit, hardware address number that is programmed in to each local area network interface card (NIC) at the time of manufacture. In the Ethernet standard, every network connection must support a unique MAC value. 133

Network Interface Card.
Management

Management
Processor (MP)
The component that provides a LAN interface to the system console and system management.
Prior to iLO, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All
