HP iLO 3 User Guide

Configuring a static IP address by using iLO RBSU
This procedure is required only if you are using a static IP address. When you are using dynamic
IP addressing, your DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address for iLO.
NOTE: To simplify installation, HP recommends using DNS or DHCP with iLO.
To configure a static IP address:
1. Optional: If you access the server remotely, start an iLO remote console session.
You can use the .NET IRC or Java IRC.
2. Restart or power on the server.
3. Press F8 in the HP ProLiant POST screen.
The iLO RBSU screen appears.
4. Disable DHCP:
a. Select Network→DNS/DHCP, and then press Enter.
The Network Autoconfiguration window opens.
b. Select DHCP Enable, as shown in Figure 3 (page 17).

c. Press the spacebar to set DHCP Enable to OFF, and then press F10 to save the changes.
