HP Essential LAN Configuration Details for MP 5991

LC: LAN configuration usage

Command access level: MP configuration access

LC modifies the LAN configuration parameters.

IMPORTANT: If you are connected through a network and you make any changes to DHCP status, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, the iLO 2 MP automatically resets once you confirm the change.

If you are connected through a serial console and you make any changes to DHCP status, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, the iLO 2 MP alerts you to manually reset the iLO 2 MP.

Configurable parameters include the following:

•iLO 2 MP IP address

•DHCP status (default is enabled)

—If the IP address, gateway IP address, or subnet mask was obtained through DHCP, you cannot change the DHCP status without first disabling DHCP.

—If you change the DHCP status to enabled or disabled, the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are set to their default values (127.0.0.1:0xffffff00), and the DNS parameters are voided.

—When you change the DHCP status from enabled to disabled, the DNS parameters for DHCP are set to disabled, and the Register with DDNS parameter is set to No.

—When you change the DHCP status from disabled to enabled, the DNS parameters for DHCP are set to enabled, and the Register with DDNS parameter is set to Yes .

•iLO 2 MP host name

—The iLO 2 MP host name set in this command is displayed at the iLO 2 MP command mode prompt. Its primary purpose is to identify the iLO 2 MP LAN interface in a DNS database.

—If you change the iLO 2 MP host name and the IP address was obtained through DHCP and DDNS is registered, a delete old name request for the old host name and an add name request for the new host name are sent to the DDNS server.

—Typically you enter the DNS name for the LAN IP. You can program this field to any useful name or phrase. For clarity, enter MPNAME-on-SYSTEMas the MP Host name, so both names show up in the prompt. The limit is 19 characters, and no spaces are allowed.

•Subnet mask

•Gateway IP address

•Local console serial port

•Link state

•SSH access port number
