Installation Manual

Configuring the multicast options for one iLO system at a time
Use the following procedure to configure the multicast options for each iLO system that will be
added to an iLO Federation group. If you use the default values, configuration is not required.
You can use RIBCL scripts to view and configure multicast options for multiple iLO systems. For
more information, see the iLO Federation user guide.
Prerequisites
Configure iLO Settings privilege
Configuring the multicast options
1. Navigate to the AdministrationiLO Federation page.
2. For iLO Federation Management, select Enabled or Disabled.
3. For Multicast Discovery, select Enabled or Disabled.
4. Enter a value for Multicast Announcement Interval (seconds/minutes).
5. Select a value for IPv6 Multicast Scope.
To ensure that multicast discovery works correctly, make sure that all iLO systems in the
same group use the same value for IPv6 Multicast Scope.
6. Enter a value for Multicast Time To Live (TTL).
To ensure that multicast discovery works correctly, make sure that all iLO systems in the
same group use the same value for Multicast Time to Live (TTL).
7. Click Apply.
Network changes and changes you make on this page take effect after the next multicast
announcement.
Multicast options
iLO Federation Management—Enables or disables the iLO Federation features. The default
setting is Enabled. Selecting Disabled disables the iLO Federation features for the local
iLO system.
Multicast discovery—Enables or disables multicast discovery. The default setting is
Enabled. Selecting Disabled disables the iLO Federation features for the local iLO system.
Disabling multicast discovery is not supported on Synergy compute modules. To limit the
impact of multicast traffic on a network with Synergy compute modules, adjust the IPv6
Multicast Scope and Multicast Time To Live (TTL) settings.
Multicast Announcement Interval (seconds/minutes)—Sets the frequency at which the
iLO system announces itself on the network. Each multicast announcement is approximately
