Connecting to the ILOM Service
Processor for the First Time
This section describes how to connect to the ILOM service processor (SP) for initial
setup and configuration. It covers the following topics:
■ “About ILOM SP IP Addresses” on page 78
■ “About ILOM SP Interfaces” on page 78
■ “Determining the ILOM SP IP Address” on page 79
■ “Changing the ILOM SP IP Address” on page 81
About ILOM SP IP Addresses
The ILOM SP is assigned a DHCP IP address by default. There are two requirements
for DHCP IP address assignment to occur:
■ Connection to your network must be through a NET MGT port.
■ DHCP services must be present on your network infrastructure.
If a DHCP server cannot be reached after three DHCP requests, the ILOM SP is
assigned a static IP address based on the network management port MAC address.
This IP address is always in the format 192.168.xxx.xxx.
About ILOM SP Interfaces
Choose from one of several ILOM SP interfaces to support system management on
your server. You can access SP firmware applications through the following ILOM
SP interfaces:
■ Serial port command-line interface (CLI) (local access)
■ Secure shell (SSH) CLI (remote access over the network)
■ Web browser user interface (BUI) (remote access over the network)
