Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support option is enabled by default.

2. Select Enclosure Information > Enclosure Settings > Network Access in the navigation tree.
The Protocols tab is displayed.
3. Select the Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support check box, and then click Apply.
You can also use the CLI to enable or disable the Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support option.
To enable the option, enter ENABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT. To disable the
option, enter DISABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT. For more information, see the
