Accessing the iLO MP

Appendix D

Step 5. Add an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table entry for IP address of iLO 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 “Accessing the iLO MP” on page 162.

Accessing the iLO MP

Use this procedure to continue with the server configuration process after establishing a connection to iLO

MP using one of the three methods discussed in “Configuring iLO MP Access” on page 158. This chapter also

includes important security considerations when configuring your server blade for remote access.

The following sections are included in this chapter:

• “Accessing the iLO MP After Establishing a Connection to the Server Blade” on page 162

• “Remote Access Security Requirements” on page 162

Accessing the iLO MP After Establishing a Connection to the Server Blade

You should be at the MP prompt.

Step 1. Log in to the iLO MP by using the following default values for the login ID and password (case

sensitive):

Password: Admin

You are now at the MP Main Menu screen.

Remote Access Security Requirements

Depending on how you set up your server blade, there are security concerns regarding allowing remote access

to the server blade.
