Network Settings
The Network Settings page displays the NIC IP address, subnet mask, and other TCP/IP-related
information and settings. From the Network Settings screen, you can enable or disable DHCP and
configure a static IP address for servers not using DHCP. All users can view the network settings,
but only users with the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege can change these settings. To access the
Network Settings page, click Administration>Network>Network. The Network Settings page
appears with the following information and settings:
• NIC enables you to set the iLO 2 NIC to Enabled, Disabled, or to Shared Network Port.
Enabled – Enables the primary iLO 2 network interface.◦
◦ Disabled – Disables the iLO 2 network interface. You must use the iLO 2 RBSU or other
host-based scripting utility to re-enable the network interface.
◦ Shared Network Port – Enables networking using the designated host Ethernet port. The
port appears as two separate Ethernet MACs and IP addresses on the network. For more
information, see “iLO 2 Shared Network Port” (page 61).
• DHCP enables you to select static IP (disabled) or enables the use of a DHCP server to obtain
an IP address for the Integrated Lights-Out 2 subsystem.
You cannot set the iLO 2 IP Address and Subnet Mask if DHCP is enabled. Disabling DHCP
enables you to configure the IP address. The IP Address field also appears on the DHCP/DNS
Settings page for convenience. Changing the value on either page changes the DHCP setting.
• IP Address is the iLO 2 IP address. If DHCP is used, the iLO 2 IP address is automatically
supplied. If not, enter a static IP address. The IP Address field appears on the DHCP/DNS
page for convenience. Entering values in the field on either page changes the IP address of
the iLO 2.
• Subnet Mask is the subnet mask of the iLO 2 IP network. If DHCP is used, the Subnet Mask is
automatically supplied. If not, enter the subnet mask for the network.
• Gateway IP Address displays the IP address of the network gateway. If DHCP is in use, the
Gateway IP Address is automatically supplied. If not, enter the network gateway address.
• iLO 2 Subsystem Name is a name used by the iLO 2 subsystem. If DHCP and DNS are
configured correctly, this name can be used to connect to the iLO 2 subsystem instead of the
IP address. For more information, see “iLO 2 subsystem name limitations” (page 61).
• Link controls the speed and duplex of the iLO 2 network transceiver. The current link speed
of the primary dedicated iLO 2 NIC can be highlighted. Link settings include the following:
— Automatic (default) enables iLO 2 to negotiate the highest supported link speed and
duplex when connected to the network.
— 100Mb/FD forces a 100-Mb connection using full duplex.
— 100Mb/HD forces a 100-Mb connection using half duplex.
— 10Mb/FD forces a 10-Mb connection using full duplex.
— 10Mb/HD forces a 10-Mb connection using half duplex.
