The inactivity timeout effects how long a user can stay inactive within a command in the text user
interface before they are placed back at the command prompt. There is no session timeout on the
Integrity iLO 2 text interfaces.
NOTE: The iLO 2 MP command interface inactivity timeout cannot be deactivated.
Use the flow control timeout to prevent any user who is using a terminal that does not obey flow
control from locking the system out from other users.
The following are IT command parameters:
iLO 2 inactivity timeout One to 30 minutes (default is three minutes).
Flow control timeout Zero to 60 minutes. If the flow control timeout is set to zero,
no timeout is applied. A mirroring flow control condition
ceases when no flow control condition exists on any port.
This timeout prevents mirrored flow control from blocking
other ports when inactive.
Command line usage and scripting:
IT [ -command <n> ] [ -flow <n> ] [ -nc ]

LC: LAN configuration usage
Command access level: MP configuration access
LC modifies the LAN configuration parameters.
IMPORTANT: If you are connected through a network and you make any changes to DHCP
status, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, iLO 2 automatically resets once you confirm
the change.
If you are connected through a serial console and you make any changes to DHCP status, IP
address, subnet mask, or gateway IP address, iLO 2 alerts you to manually reset iLO 2.
Configurable parameters include the following:
• iLO 2 MP IP address
• DHCP status (default is enabled)
If the IP address, gateway IP address, or subnet mask was obtained through DHCP, you
cannot change the DHCP status without first disabling DHCP.
◦
◦ If you change the DHCP status to enabled or disabled, the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address are set to their default values (127.0.0.1:0xffffff00), and the DNS
parameters are voided.
◦ When you change the DHCP status from enabled to disabled, the DNS parameters for
DHCP are set to disabled, and the Register with DDNS parameter is set to No.
◦ When you change the DHCP status from disabled to enabled, the DNS parameters for
DHCP are set to enabled, and the Register with DDNS parameter is set to Yes.
