Configuring and Viewing the IP Address for a
Server Module SP Through the UCP
You can connect to the server module SP by one of these methods:
■
Through the front-panel universal connector port (UCP) using a dongle cable.
■
Through the SP Ethernet port. You must already know the IP address to use this
method, so it is not useful for configuration.

To View or Configure the IP Address for the Server
Module SP When Assigned by DHCP — Through the
UCP
1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control
(MAC) addresses.
2. Connect to the server module SP through the front-panel UCP using a dongle
cable.
Refer to “Connecting to the Server Module SP Using a Dongle Cable” on page 17 .
3. Find the IP address that DHCP has assigned to the server module SP.
A valid IP address may already have been assigned to the server module SP by
your DHCP server. To view the IP address that has been assigned, type:
The ILOM software displays the IP address currently assigned to the server
module SP.
If the assigned IP address is not valid, you will need to provide the MAC address
for the server module SP to your DHCP system administrator. In that case,
proceed to
Step 4 .
4. Obtain the MAC address for the server module SP.
MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal strings in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
where x represents a single hexadecimal letter (0–9, A–F, a–f). The Customer
Information document shipped with your server module lists the MAC address,
or you can find it using this procedure:
a. Type this command:
The ILOM software displays the current MAC address.
-> show /SP/network ipaddress
-> show /SP/network macaddress
