Connecting to the network
Typically iLO 2 is connected to the network in one of two ways. iLO 2 can be connected through a:
•
Corporate network
where both ports are connected to the corporate network. In this configuration,
the server has two network ports (one server NIC, and one iLO 2 NIC) connected to a corporate
network.
•
Dedicated management
network where the iLO 2 port is on a separate network.
Configuring the IP address
This step is necessary only if you are using a static IP address. When using dynamic IP addressing, your
DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address for iLO 2. HP recommends using DNS or DHCP with
iLO 2 to simplify installation
