• iLO 2 MP host name
The iLO 2 MP host name set in this command is displayed at the iLO 2 MP command
mode prompt. Its primary purpose is to identify the iLO 2 MP LAN interface in a DNS
database.
◦
◦ If you change the iLO 2 MP host name and the IP address was obtained through DHCP
and DDNS is registered, a delete old name request for the old host name and an add
name request for the new host name are sent to the DDNS server.
◦ Typically you enter the DNS name for the LAN IP. You can program this field to any useful
name or phrase. For clarity, enter MPNAME-on-SYSTEM as the MP Host name, so both
names show up in the prompt. The limit is 19 characters, and no spaces are allowed.
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address
• Local console serial port
• Link state
• SSH access port number
Command line usage and scripting:
LC [ -ip <ipaddr> ] [ -subnet <subnet> ] [ -gateway <ipaddr> ]
[ -host <text> ] [ -web <n> ] [ -link <auto|T<10baseT)> ]
[ -ssh <n> ] [ -dhcp <e|d> ] [ -nc ]

LDAP: LDAP directory settings
Command access level: MP configuration access
LDAP displays and modifies the following LDAP directory settings:
• Directory Authentication: Activates or deactivates directory support on iLO 2.
Enable with Extended Schema: Selects directory authentication and authorization using
directory objects created with the HP schema. Select this option if the directory server is
extended with the HP schema and you plan to use it.
◦
◦ Enable with Default Schema: Selects directory authentication and authorization using
user accounts in the directory which has not been extended with the HP schema. User
accounts and group memberships are used to authenticate and authorize users. Data in
the Group Administration page must be configured after you select this option. In the
Group Administration page, configure one or more directory groups by entering the
distinguished name of the group and privileges to be granted to users who are members
of that group.
◦ Disable: Deactivates directory support on iLO 2.
• Local User Accounts: Includes or excludes access to local iLO 2 user accounts. If local user
accounts are enabled, you can log in to iLO 2 using locally stored user credentials. If they
are disabled, access is limited to valid directory credentials only.
NOTE: Locally stored user accounts can be active while directory support is enabled. This
enables both local- and directory-based user access. If both directory authentication and local
user accounts are enabled, login is attempted using the directory first, then using local accounts.
• Directory Server IP Address: IP address or host name of the directory server.
