Assign a Static IP Address to the NET MGT Port
If you plan to connect to the SP through its NET MGT port, the SP must have a valid IP
address.
By default, the server is configured to obtain an IP address from DHCP services in your
network. If the network your server is connected to does not support DHCP for IP addressing,
perform this procedure.
Note - To configure the server to support DHCP, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation.
1.
Connect to the Oracle ILOM on the SP using the SER MGT port.
If you are not already connected through the SER MGT port, perform steps as needed in
“Connect Cables” on page 51.
