7. If you enabled VLAN, enter a VLAN Tag. All network devices that you want to communicate
with each other must have the same VLAN tag. The VLAN tag can be any number between 1
and 4094.

9. If you are finished configuring the iLO network settings on the General, IPv4, IPv6, and
SNTP tabs, click Reset to restart iLO.
It might take several minutes before you can re-establish a connection.
After iLO resets, the Shared Network Port is active. Any network traffic going to or
originating from iLO is directed through the Shared Network Port LOM or FlexibleLOM port.
iLO network port configuration options
The iLO subsystem 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 RJ-45 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 RJ-45 connector.
For information about the NICs your server supports, see the server system configuration guide
at the following website: http://www.nec.com/express/.
iLO network connection considerations
• Only one of the Dedicated Network Port or Shared Network Port options can be enabled at
a time because iLO supports only one active NIC connection.
• By default, the iLO Shared Network Port uses port 1 on the server NIC. Depending on the
server configuration, this NIC might be a LOM or FlexibleLOM adapter. The port number
corresponds to the label on the NIC, which might be different from the numbering in the
operating system.
If both the server and the NIC support port selection, the iLO firmware allows you to select a
different port number. If a port other than port 1 is selected for Shared Network Port use,
and your server does not support that configuration, iLO switches back to port 1 when it
starts.
• Access to iLO through IPv6 is not currently supported when the Shared Network Port is
enabled.
• On servers that do not have a Dedicated Network Port, the standard hardware configuration
provides iLO network connectivity only through the iLO Shared Network Port connection.
