iLO
371
Hardware
iLO uses standard Ethernet cabling, which includes CAT5 UTP with RJ-45
connectors. Straight-through cabling is necessary for a hardware link to a
standard Ethernet hub. Use a crossover cable for a direct PC connection.
Software
The iLO Management Port must be connected to a network that is connected to a
DHCP server, and iLO must be on the network before power is applied. DHCP
sends a request soon after power is applied. If the DHCP request is not answered
when iLO first boots, then it will reissue the request at 90-second intervals.
The DHCP server must be configured to supply DNS and WINS name
resolution. iLO can be configured to work with a static IP address either in the F8
option ROM setup or from the Network Settings Web page.
The default DNS name appears on the network settings tag and can be used to
locate iLO without knowing the assigned IP address.
If a direct connection to a PC is used, then a static IP address must be used
because there is no DHCP server on the link.
Within the iLO RBSU, you may press the F1 key inside the DNS/DHCP page for
advanced options to view the status of iLO DHCP requests.
Login Issues

password using HPONCFG.
