Installation Manual

• If you will use a DHCPv6-provided NTP service configuration, DHCPv6 Stateless Mode is
enabled on the IPv6 tab.
• For DHCPv6 time settings configurations only: The server is configured to use the iLO
Dedicated Network Port. IPv6 is not supported in the Shared Network Port configuration.
Configuring SNTP settings
1. Navigate to the Network→iLO Dedicated Network Port or Network→Shared Network
Port page.
2. Click the SNTP tab.
3. Do one of the following:
• To use DHCP-provided NTP server addresses, select the Use DHCPv4 Supplied Time
Settings check box, the Use DHCPv6 Supplied Time Settings check box, or both
check boxes.
• Enter NTP server addresses in the Primary Time Server and Secondary Time Server
boxes.
4. If you selected only Use DHCPv6 Supplied Time Settings, or if you entered a primary and
secondary time server, select the server time zone from the Time Zone list.
5. Configure the NTP time propagation setting by selecting or clearing the Propagate NTP
Time to Host check box (nonblade servers) or the Propagate NTP or OA Time to Host
check box (blade servers).
6. To save the changes you made on the SNTP Settings page, click Submit.
7. 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.
