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 HP 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 check box 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 check box 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
HP 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).
◦ 100BaseT, Full-duplex—Forces a 100 Mb connection using full duplex.
