Assign DHCP IP Addresses Using an Ethernet
Management Connection
Follow these instructions when using DHCP to assign IP addresses.
1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control
(MAC) addresses.
Consult the documentation supplied with your DHCP server software.
2. Verify that an Ethernet cable is plugged into the Ethernet port (NET MGT) port
on the CMM.
Note –
Provided that ILOM was not configured previously with a static IP address,
ILOM automatically broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet with the ID of its SP
network interface(s) MAC address(es). If ILOM was previously configured with a
static IP address, you must disable the static IP address setting on the Network
Settings tab. For more information about editing IP address settings, see
“Edit
Existing IP Addresses in ILOM Using the Web Interface” on page 37
or
“Edit
Existing IP Address(es) in ILOM Using the CLI” on page 38
.
3. The DHCP server on your network returns the DHCPOFFER packet containing
the IP address and other information. The service processor then manages its
“lease” of IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server.
4. Use one of the following methods to obtain the DHCP IP address(es) assigned
to the SP network interface(s):
■
ILOM - CMM using a serial connection
Using a serial console attached to the rear panel of the CMM, log in to ILOM as
the Administrator. For example, at the Login prompt, you could type the
preconfigured Administrator user name
root
and its default password
changeme
, then press Enter.
