Preparing to Set Up iLO 2 MP
Perform the following tasks before you configure the iLO 2 MP LAN:
•
Determine the physical access method to select and connect cables.
•
Determine the iLO 2 MP LAN configuration method and assign an IP address if necessary.
Determining the Physical iLO 2 MP Access Method
Before you can access the iLO 2 MP, you must determine the correct physical connection method.
The iLO 2 MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN
drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the operating system LAN port. See
Figure 2-3
and
Figure 2-4 (page 30)
and use
Table 3-2
to determine your physical connection
method.
Table 3-2
lists the appropriate connection method, required connection components, and
connectors to the host console.

Connection Method
• Host console
• Console serial port (RS-232) DB-9F to DB-9F cable (modem eliminator cable)
• Emulation terminal device (for example, a PC, laptop, or ASCII terminal)

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
Table 3-3
).
Once you have determined the iLO 2 MP access method, you must determine how you will
configure the iLO 2 MP LAN in order to acquire an IP address using the following methods:
•
DHCP/DNS through the management LAN: use the DNS name on the toe-tag on the server.
•
Setting up a static IP number using a laptop with DHCP services and the management LAN.
•
ARP Ping to set a static IP using a laptop and the management LAN
•
Local RS-232 serial port and a serial console.
Table 3-3
provides all the possible IP address acquisition scenarios. Use this table to help you
select the appropriate LAN configuration method to obtain an IP address.
