◦
At least one ASCII digit
◦
At least one other type of character (for example, a symbol, special character, or punctuation).
If you enable the
Password complexity setting on the Access Settings page, iLO enforces these password
characteristics when you create or edit a user account.
• The minimum length for a user account password is set on the
Access Settings page. Depending on the configured
Minimum Password Length value, the password can have a minimum of zero characters (no password) and a
maximum of 39 characters. The default
Minimum Password Length is eight characters.
IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not recommend setting the Minimum Password Length to
fewer than eight characters unless you have a physically secure management network that does not extend
outside the secure data center.
Preparing to set up iLO
Before setting up an iLO management processor, you must decide how to handle networking and security. The following
questions can help you set up iLO:
Procedure
1. How will iLO connect to the network?
2. How will iLO acquire an IP address?
3. What access security is required, and what user accounts and privileges are needed?
4. What tools will you use to configure iLO?
iLO network connection options
You can connect iLO to the network through a dedicated management network.
Dedicated management network
In this configuration, the iLO port is on a separate network. A separate network improves performance and security
because you can physically control which workstations are connected to the network. A separate network also provides
redundant access to the server when a hardware failure occurs on the production network. In this configuration, iLO
cannot be accessed directly from the production network. The Dedicated management network is the preferred iLO
network configuration.
