Setting Up Security
For greater security and reliability, HP generally recommends that iLO MP management traffic be on a
separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that network.
This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network, it also acts as the first
line of defense against security attacks. A separate network allows administrators to physically control which
workstations are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends you modify the default settings during the initial logon session and determine
the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. Create local accounts or use
directory services to control user access. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default Password” on page 70.
Security Access Settings
Determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. The iLO MP
provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized access to
the iLO MP:
CAUTION When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because anyone can access
the iLO MP until you change the default user name and password.
HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.
