Installation Manual

Network Options
• MAC Address (read-only)—The MAC address of the selected iLO network interface.
• Network Interface Adapter—Specifies the iLO network interface adapter to use.
ON—Uses the iLO Dedicated Network Port.◦
◦ Shared Network Port—Uses the Shared Network Port. This option is only available
on supported servers.
◦ OFF—Disables all network interfaces to iLO.
• Transceiver Speed Autoselect (iLO Dedicated Network Port only)—Enables iLO to negotiate
the highest supported link speed and duplex settings when connected to the network. This
option is only available when Network Interface Adapter is set to ON.
• Transceiver Speed Manual Setting (iLO Dedicated Network Port only)—Sets the link speed
for the iLO network interface. This option is only available when Network Interface Adapter
is set to ON and Transceiver Speed Autoselect is set to OFF.
• Transceiver Duplex Setting (iLO Dedicated Network Port only)—Sets the link duplex setting
for the iLO network interface. This option is only available when Network Interface Adapter
is set to ON and Transceiver Speed Autoselect is set to OFF.
• VLAN Enable (Shared Network Port only)—Enables the VLAN feature.
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. This option is only
available when Network Interface Adapter is set to Shared Network Port.
• VLAN ID (Shared Network Port only)—When a VLAN is enabled, specifies 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. This option is only available
when Network Interface Adapter is set to Shared Network Port.
• DHCP Enable—Configures iLO to obtain its IP address (and many other settings) from a
DHCP server.
• DNS Name—Sets the DNS name of the iLO subsystem (for example, ilo instead of
ilo.example.com).
This name can only be used if DHCP and DNS are configured to connect to the iLO
subsystem name instead of the IP address.
• IP Address—The iLO IP address. If DHCP is used, the iLO IP address is supplied
automatically. If DHCP is not used, enter a static IP address.
• Subnet Mask—The subnet mask of the iLO IP network. If DHCP is used, the subnet mask
is supplied automatically. If DHCP is not used, enter a subnet mask for the network.
• Gateway IP Address—The iLO gateway IP address. If DHCP is used, the iLO gateway IP
address is supplied automatically. If DHCP is not used, enter the iLO gateway IP address.
Advanced Network Options
• Gateway from DHCP—Specifies whether iLO uses a DHCP server-supplied gateway.
• Gateway #1, Gateway #2, and Gateway #3—If Gateway from DHCP is disabled, specifies
up to three iLO gateway IP addresses.
• DHCP Routes—Specifies whether iLO uses the DHCP server-supplied static routes.
