Additional Setup
This section provides additional information to help you set up the iLO 2 MP.
Modifying User Accounts and Default Password
The iLO 2 MP comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. The two default user accounts at initial login are as follows:
•
All Rights (Administrator) level user: login =
Admin
password =
Admin
•
Console Rights (Operator) level user: login =
Oper
password =
Oper
NOTE:
User account and password are case sensitive.
IMPORTANT:
For security reasons, HP strongly recommends that you modify the default
settings during the initial login session.
Make the following changes using any of the iLO 2 MP user interfaces.

Setting Up Security
For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO 2 MP management traffic be on a
separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that
network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network,
it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network enables
administrators to physically control which workstations are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login session
and determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed.
Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See
“Modifying User
Accounts and Default Password” (page 75)
