Enabling the iLO Shared Network Port through the iLO web interface (nonblade
servers only)
Prerequisites
Configure iLO Settings privilege
Configuring the NIC settings
1. Connect the Shared Network Port LOM or FlexibleLOM port to a LAN.
2. Navigate to the Network→Shared Network Port page.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Select the Use Shared Network Port check box.
5. Depending on the server configuration, select LOM, or FlexibleLOM.
6. Select a value from the Port menu.
Selecting a port number other than port 1 works only if the server and the network adapter
both support this configuration. If you enter an invalid port number, port 1 is used.
7. To use a VLAN, select the Enable VLAN check box.
When the Shared Network Port is active and VLAN is enabled, the iLO Shared Network Port
becomes part of a VLAN. All network devices with different VLAN tags will appear to be on
separate LANs, even if they are physically connected to the same LAN.
8. If you enabled VLAN, enter a VLAN Tag. All network devices that you want to communicate
with each other must have the same VLAN tag. The VLAN tag can be any number between
1 and 4094.
9. To save the changes, click Submit.
10. If you are finished configuring the iLO network settings on the General, IPv4, IPv6, and
SNTP tabs, click Reset to restart iLO.
It might take several minutes before you can re-establish a connection.
After iLO resets, the Shared Network Port is active. Any network traffic going to or originating
from iLO is directed through the Shared Network Port LOM or FlexibleLOM port.
