Configuring iLO MP Access

Configuring ARP Ping to Enable iLO MP Access

Step 3. Locate a UNIX or PC node on the same LAN segment.

Step 4. Add a route to MP using the route add command.

Step 5. Add an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table entry for IP address of MP using the arp command

to another host located on your local subnet. This ARP table entry maps the MAC address of the

core iLO MP LAN interface to the IP address chosen for that interface.

NOTE Adding an entry to the ARP table is typically done using the arp command with the

appropriate option. Consult your operating system documentation for more

information.

Step 6. Use the ping command from the host that has the new ARP table entry. The destination address is

the IP address that is mapped to the MAC address of the MP. The MP LAN port should now be

configured with the appropriate IP address.

Example:

C:\>route add 15.255.144.1 15.255.148.76

C:\>arp –s 15.255.144.1 00-00-0c-07-ac-00

C:\>ping 15.255.144.1

Step 7. Use Web or Telnet access to connect to the MP from a host on the local subnet and complete the rest

of the LAN parameter (gateway, subnet) and user setup. You should now be at the MP prompt.

Proceed to Chapter 6, “Accessing iLO MP,” on page 57.
