7.Use this IP address to connect to the iLO 2 MP LAN.

8.Use web or telnet access to connect to the iLO 2 MP from a host on the local subnet and configure the rest of the LAN parameters (gateway, subnet).

Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the Console Serial Port

The terminal emulation device runs software that interfaces with the server. The software emulates console output as it would appear on an ASCII terminal screen and displays it on a console device screen.

To configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the console serial port (RS-232), follow these steps:

IMPORTANT: Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same network. The duplicate server IP addresses conflict and the servers cannot connect to the network.

The LC command enables you to configure a static IP address, host name, subnet mask, and gateway address.

IMPORTANT: Ensure you have a console connection through the console serial port (RS-232) or a network connection through the LAN to access the iLO 2 MP and use the LC command.

1.Ensure the emulation software is correctly configured:

a.Verify that the communication settings are configured as follows:

•8/none (parity)

•9600 baud

•None (receive)

•None (transmit)

b.Verify that the terminal type is configured appropriately. The following are supported terminal types:

•hpterm

•vt100

•vt100+

•vt-utf8

IMPORTANT: Do not mix hpterm and vt100 terminal types at the same time.

Consult the help section of the emulation software application for instructions on how to configure the software options.

2.Use Table 3-2to determine the required connection components and the ports used to connect the server to the console device.

3.Connect the cables.

4.Start the emulation software on the console device.

5.Log in to the iLO 2 MP. See “Logging In to the iLO 2 MP” (page 40).

6.At the MP Main Menu, enter CM and press Enter to select command mode.

7.At the command mode prompt, enter LS and press Enter. The screen displays the default LAN configuration values. Write down the default values or log the information to a file.

8.To disable DHCP, enter the LC command.

a.From the LC command menu, enter D and press Enter.

b.Follow the instructions on the screen to change the DHCP status from enabled to disabled.

c.Enter XD -Rto reset the iLO 2 MP.
