About Service Processor Interfaces
After you configure the IP address to comply with your network IP scheme, you can access the LOM SP web interface using a Sun Microsystems supported web browser. You can also connect to the LOM SP through secure shell (SSH).
Choose from one of several LOM SP interfaces to support system management on your server. After you have determined the IP address of the SP, you can access SP firmware applications through the following LOM SP interfaces:
■Serial Port CLI
■Secure (command) shell (SSH) CLI

About LOM IP Addresses
The LOM SP is assigned a DHCP IP address by default. There are two requirements for DHCP IP address assignment to occur:
■Connection to your network must be through a NET MGT port.
■DHCP services must be present on your network infrastructure.
If a DHCP server cannot be reached after 3 DHCP requests, the LOM SP is assigned a static IP address based on the network management port MAC address. This IP address is always in the format 192.168.xxx.xxx.
Determining the LOM Service Processor IP Address
There are two methods to determine the IP address of the LOM SP. Choose one of the following methods:
■“Method 1: Access the BIOS” on page 34s.
■“Method 2: Connect to the Service Processor Using a Serial Connection” on page 35
Method 1: Access the BIOS
