MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS parameters

If the following parameters are not specified, then the parameter value for the specified setting is preserved. Zero values are not permitted in some fields. Consequently, an empty string deletes the current value in some fields.

ENABLE_NIC enables the NIC to reflect the state of iLO 3. The values are "Yes" or "No." It is case insensitive.

SHARED_NETWORK_PORT sets the Shared Network Port value. The values are "Yes" or "No." For iLO, the Shared Network Port feature is only available on servers with hardware, NIC firmware, and iLO firmware that supports this feature. For iLO 2, the Shared Network Port is supported on all firmware versions, and the feature is available if the hardware is supported.

When using the iLO 3 Shared Network Port, flashing the iLO 3 firmware through the XML interface takes approximately 7 minutes to complete. Flashing the firmware using Shared Network Port with iLO 3 does not take any longer to complete than using the dedicated iLO 3 management port.

SHARED_NETWORK_PORT_VLAN VALUE enables iLO 3 Shared Network Port VLAN ID tagging. The possible values are "Yes" or "No."

SHARED_NETWORK_PORT_VLAN_ID VALUE sets the VLAN ID value. Values must be between 1 and 4094.

REG_DDNS_SERVER VALUE instructs iLO 3 to register the management port with a DDNS server. The possible values are "Yes" or "No."

SPEED_AUTOSELECT is a Boolean parameter to enable or disable the iLO 3 transceiver to auto-detect the speed and duplex of the network. This parameter is optional, and the Boolean string must be set to "Yes" if this behavior is desired. If this parameter is used, the Boolean string value must never be left blank. The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case insensitive.

FULL_DUPLEX is used to decide if the iLO 3 is to support full-duplex or half-duplex mode. It is only applicable if SPEED_AUTOSELECT was set to "No." The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case insensitive.

NIC_SPEED is used to set the transceiver speed if SPEED_AUTOSELECT was set to "No." The possible values are "10" or "100." Any other values will result in a syntax error.

DHCP_ENABLE is used to enable DHCP. The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case insensitive.

IP_ADDRESS is used to select the IP address for the iLO 3 if DHCP is not enabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

SUBNET_MASK is used to select the subnet mask for the iLO 3 if DHCP is not enabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS is used to select the default gateway IP address for the iLO 3 if DHCP is not enabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

DNS_NAME is used to specify the DNS name for the iLO 3. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

DOMAIN_NAME is used to specify the domain name for the network where the iLO 3 resides. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

DHCP_GATEWAY specifies if the DHCP-assigned gateway address is to be used. The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case sensitive. This selection is only valid if DHCP is enabled.

DHCP_DNS_SERVER specifies if the DHCP-assigned DNS server is to be used. The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case sensitive. This selection is only valid if DHCP is enabled.

DHCP_WINS_SERVER specifies if the DHCP-assigned WINS server is to be used. The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case sensitive. This selection is only valid if DHCP is enabled.

DHCP_STATIC_ROUTE specifies if the DHCP-assigned static routes are to be used. The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case sensitive. This selection is only valid if DHCP is enabled.

REG_WINS_SERVER specifies if the iLO 3 must be register with the WINS server. The possible values are "Yes" or "No." It is case sensitive. This selection is only valid if DHCP is enabled.

PRIM_DNS_SERVER specifies the IP address of the primary DNS server. This parameter is only relevant if the DHCP-assigned DNS server address feature is disabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

SEC_DNS_SERVER specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server. This parameter is only relevant if the DHCP-assigned DNS server address feature is disabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

TER_DNS_SERVER specifies the IP address of the tertiary DNS server. This parameter is only relevant if the DHCP-assigned DNS server address feature is disabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

PRIM_WINS_SERVER specifies the IP address of the primary WINS server. This parameter is only relevant if the DHCP-assigned WINS server address feature is disabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

SEC_WINS_SERVER specifies the IP address of the secondary WINS server. This parameter is only relevant if the DHCP-assigned WINS server address feature is disabled. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

STATIC_ROUTE_1, STATIC_ROUTE_2, and STATIC_ROUTE_3 are used to specify the destination and gateway IP addresses of the static routes. The following two parameters are used within the static route commands. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.

WEB_AGENT_IP_ADDRESS specifies the address for the Web-enabled agents. If an empty string is entered, the current value is deleted.
