HP Integrity and HP 9000 iLO MP Operations Guide, Fifth Edition

LC displays and enables modification of the LAN configuration.

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 MP automatically resets once

you confirm the change. If you are connected through a serial console and you make any changes,

the iLO MP alerts you to manually reset the iLO MP.

Configurable parameters include the following:

• iLO 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 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 MP host name:

— The iLO MP host name set in this command is displayed at the iLO MP Command

mode prompt. Its primary purpose is to identify the iLO MP LAN interface in a DNS

database.

— If you change the iLO 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 hostname 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-SYSTEM as 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.

• Remote serial console port.

• Link state.

• SSH access port number.
