12. Configuring iLO network settings
iLO network settings
iLO provides the following options for network connection:
• iLO Dedicated Network Port—Uses an independent NIC that is dedicated to iLO network
traffic only. When supported, this port uses an RJ-45 jack (labeled iLO) on the back of the
server.
• Shared Network Port LOM—Uses a permanently installed NIC that is built into the server.
This NIC normally handles server network traffic, and it can be configured to handle iLO
network traffic at the same time through a common LAN connector.
• Shared Network Port FlexibleLOM—Uses an optional NIC that plugs into a special slot on
the server. This NIC normally handles server network traffic, and it can be configured to
handle iLO network traffic at the same time through a common LAN connector.
To access the network settings, select the active NIC in the navigation tree, and then view or edit
the network settings on the following pages:
• Network Summary
• Network General Settings
• IPv4 Settings
• IPv6 Settings
• SNTP Settings
If you select the inactive NIC, a message notifies you that iLO is not configured to use that NIC.
