Setting Up Security
For greater security and reliability, Hewlett Packard Enterprise generally recommends that iLO
2 MP management traffic be on a separate dedicated management network and that only
administrators be granted access to that network. This not only improves performance by reducing
traffic load across the main network, it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks.
A separate network allows administrators to physically control which workstations are connected
to the network.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise also strongly recommends you modify the default settings during the
initial logon session and determine the security access required and what user accounts and
privileges are needed. Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access.
See
“Modifying User Accounts and Default Password” (page 84)
.
Security Access Settings
Determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. The
iLO 2 MP provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent
unauthorized access to the iLO 2 MP:
•
Change the default user name and password. See
“Modifying User Accounts and Default
).
CAUTION:
When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because
anyone can access the iLO 2 MP until you change the default user name and password.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before
proceeding.
•
Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO
2 MP access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized
businesses.
•
Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO 2 MP user access. This
is ideal for environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to
use directory services, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends leaving at least one local
account enabled as an alternate method of access.
Accessing the Host Console
This section provides information on the different methods of accessing the host console of an
Integrity server.
Accessing the iLO 2 MP With the Web Browser
Web browser access is an embedded feature of the iLO 2 MP.
The iLO 2 MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN
drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating system.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you use the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the MAC
address to the server core LAN.
