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 3-3
.
Once you have determined the iLO MP access method, you must determine how you will
configure the iLO MP LAN to acquire an IP address. Use one of the following methods:
•
DHCP/DNS
•
ARP Ping
•
Local console serial port (RS-232)
•
Remote/modem port
Table 3-3
provides all the possible IP address acquisition scenarios. Use this table to help you
select the appropriate LAN configuration method to obtain an IP address.

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.
IMPORTANT:
You must know the DNS domain name, which is served out by the DHCP server,
unless it’s domain is local or the same domain.
When you use DHCP and DNS, you can connect to the iLO MP by entering the DNS name in
the browser rather than an IP address
only
if the following conditions applies:
