HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide

Enclosure bay IP addressingDuring the First Time Setup Wizard you are asked to set up your enclosure bay IP addressing. For moreinformation on the complete wizard setup process, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator UserGuide.The server blade iLO 2 ports and interconnect module management ports can obtain IP addresses on themanagement network in three ways: DHCP address, static IP address or EBIPA. If your network has anexternal DHCP service or if you want to manually assign static IP addresses one by one to the serverblades and interconnect modules, click Skip to bypass this step.The server blade iLO 2 defaults to DHCP addressing, obtained through the network connector of theactive Onboard Administrator. Interconnect modules that have an internal management networkconnection to the Onboard Administrator may also default to DHCP address.The Onboard Administrator GUI lists the IP address for the server blade iLO 2 port and interconnectmodule management portIf your facility prefers static IP address assignment, you can individually change each of the server bladeiLO 2 ports and interconnect module management ports to unique static addresses or use EBIPA to assigna range of static IP addresses to individual server blade and interconnect module bays.When a server blade or interconnect module is inserted into a bay that has EBIPA enabled, thatmanagement port will get the specific static IP address from the Onboard Administrator if that device isconfigured for DHCP.The administrator sets an independent range for server blade bays and interconnect module bays usingthe Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to the first bayand then consecutive bays through the range.For example, if you set the server bay EBIPA range to 16.100.226.21 to 16.100.226.36, the iLO 2 inServer bay #1 will be assigned 16.100.226.21 and the iLO 2 in Server bay #12 is assigned16.100.226.32. If you set the interconnect bay EBIPA range to 16.200.139.51 to 16.209.139.58, theinterconnect module management port in Interconnect bay #1 will be assigned 16.200.139.51 and theinterconnect module management port in Interconnect bay #7 will be assigned 16.200.139.57.Using iLO 2 99
