Preparation (on page 12)—Deciding how to handle networking and security2. Connect iLO 2 to the network ("Connect to the network" on page 13) by connecting a network cableto the server's iLO 2 NIC.3. If not using dynamic IP addressing, use the iLO 2 RBSU to input a static IP address ("Configure the IPaddress" on page 14).4. Log into iLO 2 ("Log into iLO 2 for the first time" on page 15) from a supported browser orcommand line using the default user name, password, and DNS name provided on the iLO 2Network Settings tag attached to the server.5. Change the default user name and password on the administrator account to your predefinedselections6. Set up your user accounts ("Set up user accounts" on page 15) if using the local accounts feature7. Activate advanced features by entering a license key.8. Install the iLO 2 device drivers ("Microsoft device driver support" on page 17).Before setting up your iLO 2 management processors, you must decide how to handle networking andsecurity. The following questions will help you configure iLO 2 correctly.1. How should iLO 2 connect to the network? For a graphical representation and explanation of theavailable connections, refer to the "Connect to the network (on page 13)" section.Typically iLO 2 is connected to the network in one of two ways:• Corporate network where both ports are connected to the corporate network. Thisconnection enables access to iLO 2 from anywhere on the network. On a corporate network,however, network traffic can hinder iLO 2 performance.A corporate network configuration reduces the amount of networking hardware andinfrastructure required to support iLO 2 because iLO 2 uses existing DNS and DHCP servers androuters.• Dedicated management network with the iLO 2 port on a separate network. A separatenetwork improves performance and security, and provides redundant access to the server whena hardware failure occurs on the corporate network. In this configuration, iLO 2 cannot beaccessed directly from the corporate network.iLO 2 setup 12
