DHCP

Enabled

Enables you to select static IP (disabled) or enables the use of a DHCP server to obtain an IP address for iLO 3 subsystem.

You cannot set the iLO 3 IP address and subnet mask if DHCP is enabled.

Enabling DHCP allows you to configure the following DHCP options:

• Use DHCP Supplied Gateway
• Use DHCP Supplied DNS Servers
• Use DHCP Supplied WINS Servers
• Use DHCP Supplied Static Routes
• Use DHCP Supplied Domain Name

IP Address

N/A (DHCP)

Use this parameter to assign a static IP address to iLO 3 on your network. By default, the IP address is assigned by DHCP.

Domain Name

N/A (DHCP)

Enter the name of the domain in which iLO 3 will participate. By default, the domain name is assigned by DHCP.

Use DHCP supplied gateway

Enabled

Toggles whether the iLO 3 will use the DHCP server-supplied gateway. If not, enter one in the Gateway IP Address box.

Use DHCP supplied DNS servers

Enabled

Toggles whether iLO 3 will use the DHCP server-supplied DNS server list. If not, enter one in the Primary/Secondary/Tertiary DNS Server boxes.

Use DHCP supplied WINS servers

Enabled

Toggles whether iLO 3 will use the DHCP server-supplied WINS server list. If not, enter one in the Primary/Secondary WINS Server boxes.

Use DHCP supplied static routes

Enabled

Toggles whether iLO 3 will use the DHCP server-supplied static route. If not, enter one in the Static Route #1, #2, #3 boxes.

Use DHCP supplied domain name

Enabled

Toggles whether iLO 3 will use the DHCP server-supplied domain name. If not, enter one in the Domain Name box.

WINS Server Registration

Enabled

The iLO 3 automatically registers with a WINS server. By default, WINS server addresses are assigned by DHCP.

DDNS Server Registration

Enabled

The iLO 3 automatically registers with a DNS server. By default, DNS server addresses are assigned by DHCP.

Ping gateway on startup

Disabled

This option causes iLO 3 to send four ICMP echo request packets to the gateway when iLO 3 initializes. This option ensures that the ARP cache entry for iLO 3 is current on the router responsible for routing packets to and from iLO 3.

Domain name

N/A (DHCP)

Enter the name of the domain in which iLO 3 participates. By default, the domain name is assigned by DHCP.

DHCP server

N/A (DHCP)

This setting is automatically detected if DHCP is set to Yes. You cannot change this setting.

Primary, secondary, and tertiary DNS server

N/A (DHCP)

Use this parameter to assign a unique DNS server IP address on the network. By default, the primary, secondary, and tertiary DNS servers are assigned by DHCP.

Primary and secondary WINS server

N/A (DHCP)

Use this parameter to assign a unique WINS server IP address on the network. By default, the primary and secondary WINS servers are assigned by DHCP.

Static routes #1, #2, #3

N/A for both the destination and gateway address (DHCP)

Use this parameter to assign a unique static route destination and gateway IP address pair on the network. Up to three static route pairs can be assigned. By default, the static routes are assigned by DHCP.

Blade server parameters

Diagnostic port configuration parameters

Transceiver speed autoselect

Yes

Toggles the ability of the Transceiver to auto-detect the speed and duplex of the network on the Diagnostic Port. Speed and Duplex are disabled if Autoselect is set to Yes.

Speed

N/A (autoselect)

Configures the speed of the Diagnostic Port. This speed must match the speed of the Diagnostic Port network. If the Autoselect option is set to Yes, the speed will be automatically configured by iLO 3.

Duplex

N/A (autoselect)

Configures the duplex of the Diagnostic Port. The duplex should match the duplex of the Diagnostic Port network. If the Autoselect option is set to Yes, the duplex will be automatically configured by iLO 3.

IP address

192.168.1.1

The Diagnostic Port IP address. If DHCP is being used, the Diagnostic Port IP address is automatically supplied. If not, enter a static IP address here.

Subnet mask

255.255.255.0

The subnet mask for the Diagnostic Port IP network. If DHCP is being used, the Subnet Mask is automatically supplied. If not, enter the subnet mask for the network.
