6 Console Connection and Setup

Setting up the console involves the following:

• Determining the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections to the

Integrity iLO MP: RS-232 and LAN.

• Configuring the Integrity iLO MP and assigning an IP address if necessary. Though there are several

methods to configuring the LAN, DHCP with DNS is the preferred one. DHCP with DNS comes

preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. Other options

include:

—ARP-Ping

— Local RS-232 serial port

— Remote/modem port
