• 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, it will reissue the request at 90-second intervals.
• The DHCP server must be configured to provide DNS and WINS name resolution.
Static IP address
If DNS or DHCP servers are not available on the network, a static IP address is used. A static IP address can be configured
by using the iLO 5 Configuration Utility.
If you plan to use a static IP address, you must have the IP address before starting the iLO setup process.
iLO access security
You can use the following methods to manage access to iLO:
Local accounts
Up to 12 user accounts can be stored in iLO. This configuration is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-
sized or medium-sized businesses.
Login security with local accounts is managed through the iLO Access Settings and user privileges.
Directory services
To support more than 12 users, configure iLO to use a directory service to authenticate and authorize access. This
configuration enables an unlimited number of users and easily scales to the number of iLO devices in an enterprise.
If you plan to use directory services, consider enabling at least one local administrator account for alternative access.
A directory provides a central point of administration for iLO devices and users, and the directory can enforce a strong
password policy.
CAC smart card authentication
You can configure common access smart cards together with local accounts and directory services to manage iLO user
access.
iLO configuration tools
iLO supports various interfaces for configuration and operation. The primary interfaces discussed in this guide include the
following:
iLO web interface
Use the iLO web interface when you can connect to iLO on the network by using a web browser. You can also use this
method to reconfigure an iLO management processor.
ROM-based setup
Use the iLO 5 Configuration Utility when the system environment does not use DHCP, DNS, or WINS.
Other iLO configuration tools
iLO configuration options not discussed in this guide follow:
Intelligent Provisioning
To start Intelligent Provisioning, press
F10 during POST.
You can also access Always On Intelligent Provisioning through the iLO web interface. For more information, see the
Intelligent Provisioning user guide.
