Procedure
1. NIC in use—The current NIC configuration you are using (for example, iLO Dedicated Network Port,
or Shared Network Port.
2. iLO Host Name—The DNS name of the iLO subsystem (for example, iLO instead of
ilo.example.com). This name can be used only if DHCP and DNS are configured to connect to the iLO
subsystem name instead of the IP address. For more information, see the iLO 4 User Guide.
3. MAC Address—The NIC MAC address.
4. Link State—The current link state (iLO Dedicated Network Port only).
5. Duplex Option—The current duplex option (Full Duplex or Half Duplex).
6. DHCPv4 Status—Enabled or Disabled.
7. IPv6 Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC)—Enabled or Disabled.
8. SLAAC Address—Physical address of IPv6 created by iLO.
Network Settings–General
• iLO Hostname Settings
◦ iLO Hostname—The DNS name of the iLO subsystem (for example, ilo instead of
ilo.example.com). This name can be used only if DHCP and DNS are configured to connect to the
iLO subsystem name instead of the IP address. For more information, see the iLO 4 User Guide.
◦ Domain Name—The iLO domain name. If DHCP is not used, enter a domain name.
• NIC Settings
◦ Use iLO Dedicated Network Port—If the checkbox is selected, you are indicating that your
system uses a NIC with a connector on the back of the server. The NIC handles iLO traffic only. If
you leave the checkbox blank, you are indicating that your system is using a shared network port.
There are two types of shared network ports:
– LOM—Uses a NIC that is built into the server. The NIC handles server network traffic and can, if
iLO is configured to do so, handle iLO traffic at the same time.
– FlexibleLOM—Uses an optional NIC that connects to a special connector on the server. The
NIC handles server network traffic and can, if iLO is configured to do so, handle iLO traffic at the
same time. Not all servers support a FlexibleLOM. For the list of servers that support the Shared
Network Port–FlexibleLOM option, see the iLO 4 User Guide.
• Link State (iLO Dedicated Network Port only).
◦ Automatic (Default)—Enables iLO to negotiate the highest supported link speed and duplex
settings when connected to the network.
◦ 1000Base T, Full-duplex—Forces a 1 Gb connection that uses full duplex (not supported for BL c-
Class servers).
◦ 1000Base T, Half-duplex—Forces a 1 Gb connection that uses half duplex (not supported for BL
c-Class servers).
