Assign a Static IP Address to the NET MGT Port
Assign a Static IP Address to the NET MGT Port
If you plan to connect to the SP through its NET MGT port, the SP must have a valid IP
address.
By default, the server is configured to obtain an IP address from DHCP services in your
network. If the network your server is connected to does not support DHCP for IP addressing,
perform this procedure.
Note -
To configure the server to support DHCP, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation.
1. Set the SPM to accept a static IP address.
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static
Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'
2. Set the IP address for the SP.
-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=
service-processor-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipaddress' to '
service-processor-IPaddr
'
To change the default IPv6 DHCP property and set property values for a static IPv6 address,
refer to the section Modifying Default Connectivity Configuration Properties in the Oracle
ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance .
3.
Set the IP address for the SP gateway.
-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=
gateway-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipgateway' to '
gateway-IPaddr
'
4. Set the netmask for the SP.
-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'
This example uses
255.255.255.0
to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might
require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.
5.
Verify that the pending parameters are set correctly.
-> show /SP/network
/SP/network
