On these servers, the iLO firmware defaults to the Shared Network Port.
• Due to server auxiliary-power budget limitations, some 1Gb/s copper network adapters used
for iLO Shared Network Port functionality might run at 10/100 speed when the server is
powered off. To avoid this issue, NEC Corporation recommends configuring the switch that
the iLO Shared Network Port is connected to for auto-negotiation.
If the switch port that iLO is connected to is configured for 1Gb/s, some copper iLO Shared
Network Port adapters might lose connectivity when the server is powered off. Connectivity
will return when the server is powered back on.
• Disabling the iLO Shared Network Port does not completely disable the system NIC—server
network traffic can still pass through the NIC port. When the iLO Shared Network Port is
disabled, any traffic going to or originating from iLO will not pass through the Shared
Network Port.
• If the Shared Network Port is enabled, you cannot modify the link state or duplex options.
When using Shared Network Port configurations, these settings must be managed in the
operating system.
