HP ntegrity iLO 2 MP, Operation Manual

Page: 38 / 199

ARP Ping has the following operational issues:
•
The PC and the server must be on the same physical subnet.
• When a new server is first booted, DHCP is automatically available (factory-set default),
but ARP Ping does not start until three minutes after the iLO 2 MP is booted. This applies
to every subsequent boot of the iLO 2 MP until an IP address is obtained by DHCP or is
assigned using the
LC
command.
• Upon successfully assigning an IP address using ARP Ping, DHCP is automatically disabled.
Select one of the following methods to use the ARP Ping utility:
1. Connect a PC to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server and run the
ARP Ping commands from the PC.
2. Locate an existing server on the network and log in to it.
3. Run the ARP Ping commands from the server.
Table 3-4 lists the ARP Ping commands.
Table 3-4 ARP Ping Commands
Description ARP Command
Assigns the IP address to the iLO 2 MP MAC address. This ARP table entry maps the MAC
address of the iLO 2 MP LAN interface to the static IP address designated for that interface.
arp -s
Tests network connections and verifies that the iLO 2 MP LAN port is configured with the
appropriate IP address.
ping
NOTE:
The following procedure explains how to use the ARP Ping utility using a PC that is
connected to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server.
To configure a static IP address using the ARP Ping utility, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the iLO 2 MP MAC address. To set the IP address using ARP, you must know the
MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN. You can find the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN
on a label on the server.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the
MAC address to the server core LAN.
2. Verify that an active LAN cable on the local subnet is connected to the iLO 2 MP LAN port
on the server.
3. Access a PC on the same physical subnet as the server.
4. Open a DOS window on the PC.
5. At the DOS command prompt (
C: >)
, enter
arp -s
to assign the IP address to the iLO
MAC address.
The syntax is as follows:
arp -s
<IP address you want to assign to the iLO MAC address> <iLO 2 MAC address>
Example from Windows
arp -s 192.0.2.1 00-00-0c-07-ac-00
6. At the DOS command prompt, enter
ping
followed by the IP address to verify that the iLO
2 MP LAN port is configured with the appropriate IP address. The destination address is
the IP address that is mapped to the iLO MAC address. Perform this task from the PC that
has the ARP table entry.
The syntax is as follows:
ping
<IP address just assigned to the iLO MAC address>
