Determining the iLO 2 MP LAN Configuration Method
To access the iLO 2 MP through the iLO 2 MP LAN, the iLO 2 MP must acquire an IP address.
The way the iLO 2 MP acquires an IP address is dependent upon whether DHCP is enabled or
disabled on the server, and if DHCP and DNS services are available to the server. (See
for possible scenarios.)
