Accessing the iLO 2 MP With the Web Browser

Web browser access is an embedded feature of the iLO 2 MP.

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 port used by the operating system.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the MAC address to the server core LAN.

Before starting this procedure, you must have the following information:

•IP address for the iLO 2 MP LAN

•Host name (this is used when messages are logged or printed)

To interact with the iLO 2 MP through the Web GUI, follow these steps:

1.Open a Web browser and enter the host name or the IP address for the iLO 2 MP.

2.Log in using your user account name and password at the login page. (Figure 3-19).
