Use the iLO Dedicated Network Port or Shared Network PortIPv4 Settingspage to configure IPv4 settings for iLO. You must have the Configure iLO Settings privilege to make changes on this page. 1. Navigate to theNetwork→iLO Dedicated Network PortorNetwork→Shared Network Port
page.
Figure 34 IPv4 Settings page (iLO Dedicated Network Port)
3. Configure the following settings:
• Enable DHCPv4—Enables iLO to obtain its IP address (and many other settings) from a DHCP server.
◦
Use DHCPv4 Supplied Gateway—Specifies whether iLO uses the DHCP server-supplied gateway. If DHCP is not used, enter a gateway address in theGateway IPv4 Addressbox.
◦
Use DHCPv4 Supplied Static Routes—Specifies whether iLO uses the DHCP server-supplied static routes. If not, enter the static route destination, mask, and gateway addresses in theStatic Route #1,Static Route #2, andStatic Route #3boxes.◦
Use DHCPv4 Supplied Domain Name—Specifies whether iLO uses the DHCP server-supplied domain name. If DHCP is not used, enter a domain name in theDomain Namebox on theNetwork General Settingspage. For more information, see“Configuring general network settings” (page 76).
◦
Use DHCPv4 Supplied DNS Servers—Specifies whether iLO uses the DHCPserver-supplied DNS server list. If not, enter the DNS server addresses in thePrimary DNS Server,Secondary DNS Server, andTertiary DNS Serverboxes.
◦
Use DHCPv4 Supplied Time Settings—Specifies whether iLO uses the DHCPv4-supplied NTP service locations.◦
Use DHCPv4 Supplied WINS Servers—Specifies whether iLO uses the DHCP server-supplied WINS server list. If not, enter the WINS server addresses in thePrimary WINS ServerandSecondary WINS Serverboxes.
• IPv4 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 IPv4 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.
• Static Route #1,Static Route #2, andStatic Route #3—The iLO static route destination, mask, and gateway addresses. IfUse DHCPv4 Supplied Static Routesis used, these values are supplied automatically. If not, enter the static route values.
• DNS server information—Enter the following information:
Primary DNS Server—IfUse DHCPv4 Supplied DNS Serversis enabled, this value is supplied automatically. If not, enter the Primary DNS Server address.
◦
◦
Secondary DNS Server—IfUse DHCPv4 Supplied DNS Serversis enabled, this value is supplied automatically. If not, enter the Secondary DNS Server address.◦
Tertiary DNS Server—IfUse DHCPv4 Supplied DNS Serversis enabled, this value is supplied automatically. If not, enter the Tertiary DNS Server address.◦
Enable DDNS Server Registration—Select or clear this check box to specify whether iLO registers its IPv4 address and name with a DNS server.• WINS server information—Enter the following information:
Primary WINS Server—IfUse DHCPv4 Supplied WINS Serversis enabled, this value is supplied automatically. If not, enter the Primary WINS Server address.
◦
◦
Secondary WINS Server—IfUse DHCPv4 Supplied WINS Serversis enabled, this value is supplied automatically. If not, enter the Secondary WINS Server address.◦
Enable WINS Server Registration—Specifies whether iLO registers its name with a WINS server.• Ping Gateway on Startup—Causes iLO to send four ICMP echo request packets to the gateway when iLO initializes. This ensures that the ARP cache entry for iLO is up-to-date on the router responsible for routing packets to and from iLO.

5. If you are finished configuring the iLO network settings on theGeneral,IPv4,IPv6, andSNTP
tabs, clickResetto restart iLO.
It might take several minutes before you can re-establish a connection.
Configuring IPv6 settings
Use the iLO Dedicated Network PortIPv6 Settingspage to configure IPv6 settings for iLO. You must have the Configure iLO Settings privilege to make changes on this page.
When using IPv6, note the following:
• IPv6 is not supported in the Shared Network Port configuration.
• If you downgrade the iLO firmware from version 1.30 or later to version 1.2x, the IPv6 settings will be reset to the default values.
To configure the IPv6 settings:
1. Navigate to theNetwork→iLO Dedicated Network Portpage. 2. Click theIPv6tab, as shown inFigure 35 (page 84).
Figure 35 IPv6 Settings page (iLO Dedicated Network Port)
3. Configure the following settings:
• iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first—When both IPv4 and IPv6 service addresses are configured for iLO client applications, this option specifies which protocol iLO tries first when accessing a client application. This setting also applies to lists of addresses received from the name resolver when using FQDNs to configure NTP.
◦
Select this check box if you want iLO to use IPv6 first.If communication fails using the first protocol, iLO automatically tries the second protocol.
• Enable Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC)—Select this check box to enable iLO to create IPv6 addresses for itself from router advertisement messages.
NOTE: iLO will create its own link-local address even when this option is not selected.
• Enable DHCPv6 in Stateful Mode (Address)—Select this check box to allow iLO to request and configure IPv6 addresses provided by a DHCPv6 server.
◦
Use DHCPv6 Rapid Commit—Select this check box to instruct iLO to use the Rapid Commit messaging mode with the DHCPv6 server. This mode reduces DHCPv6 network traffic, but might cause problems if it is used in networks where more than one DHCPv6 server can respond and provide addresses.• Enable DHCPv6 in Stateless Mode (Other)—Select this check box to enable iLO to request settings for NTP and DNS service location from the DHCPv6 server.
◦
Use DHCPv6 Supplied DNS Servers—Select this check box to use IPv6 addresses provided by the DHCPv6 server for DNS server locations. This setting can be enabled in addition to the IPv4 DNS server location options.◦
Use DHCPv6 Supplied NTP Servers—Select this check box to use IPv6 addresses provided by the DHCPv6 server for NTP server locations. This setting can be enabled in addition to the IPv4 NTP server location options.NOTE: WhenEnable DHCPv6 in Stateful Mode (Address) is selected,Enable DHCPv6 in Stateless Mode (Other)is always selected by default, because it is implicit in the DHCPv6 Stateful messages required between iLO and the DHCPv6 server.
• Primary DNS Server,Secondary DNS Server, andTertiary DNS Server—Enter the IPv6 addresses for the DNS service.
When DNS server locations are configured in both IPv4 and IPv6, both sources are used, with preference given according to theiLO Client Applications use IPv6 firstconfiguration option, primary sources, then secondary, and then tertiary.
• Enable DDNS Server Registration—Specify whether iLO registers its IPv6 address and name with a DNS server.
• Static IPv6 Address 1,Static IPv6 Address 2,Static IPv6 Address 3, andStatic IPv6 Address 4—Enter up to four static IPv6 addresses and prefix lengths for iLO. Do not enter link-local addresses.
• Static Default Gateway—Enter a default IPv6 gateway address for cases in which no router advertisement messages are present in the network.
• Static Route #1,Static Route #2, andStatic Route #3—Enter static IPv6 route destination prefix and gateway address pairs. You must specify the prefix length for the destination. Link-local addresses are not allowed for the destination, but are allowed for the gateway. 4. ClickSubmitto save the changes you made on theIPv6 Settingspage.
5. If you are finished configuring the iLO network settings on theGeneral,IPv4,IPv6, andSNTP
tabs, clickResetto restart iLO.
