Network Options

  • MAC Address (read-only)—The MAC address of the selected iLO network interface.
  • Network Interface Adapter—Specifies the iLO network interface adapter to use.
    • ON—Uses the iLO Dedicated Network Port.
    • Shared Network Port—Uses the Shared Network Port. This option is only available on supported servers.
    • OFF—Disables all network interfaces to iLO.
  • Transceiver Speed Autoselect (iLO Dedicated Network Port only)—Enables iLO to negotiate the highest supported link speed and duplex settings when connected to the network. This option is only available when Network Interface Adapter is set to ON.
  • Transceiver Speed Manual Setting (iLO Dedicated Network Port only)—Sets the link speed for the iLO network interface. This option is only available when Network Interface Adapter is set to ON and Transceiver Speed Autoselect is set to OFF.
  • Transceiver Duplex Setting (iLO Dedicated Network Port only)—Sets the link duplex setting for the iLO network interface. This option is only available when Network Interface Adapter is set to ON and Transceiver Speed Autoselect is set to OFF.
  • VLAN Enable (Shared Network Port only)—Enables the VLAN feature.When the Shared Network Port is active and VLAN is enabled, the iLO Shared Network Port becomes part of a VLAN. All network devices with different VLAN tags will appear to be on separate LANs, even if they are physically connected to the same LAN. This option is only available when Network Interface Adapter is set to Shared Network Port.
  • VLAN ID(Shared Network Port only)—When a VLAN is enabled, specifies a VLAN tag. All network devices that you want to communicate with each other must have the same VLAN tag. The VLAN tag can be any number between 1 and 4094. This option is only available when Network Interface Adapter is set to Shared Network Port.
  • DHCP Enable—Configures iLO to obtain its IP address (and many other settings) from a DHCP server.
  • DNS Name—Sets the DNS name of the iLO subsystem (for example, ilo instead of ilo.example.com). This name can only be used if DHCP and DNS are configured to connect to the iLO subsystem name instead of the IP address.
  • IP Address—The iLO IP address. If DHCP is used, the iLO IP address is supplied automatically. If DHCP is not used, enter a static IP address.
  • Subnet Mask—The subnet mask of the iLO IP network. If DHCP is used, the subnet mask is supplied automatically. If DHCP is not used, enter a subnet mask for the network.
  • Gateway IP Address—The iLO gateway IP address. If DHCP is used, the iLO gateway IP address is supplied automatically. If DHCP is not used, enter the iLO gateway IP address.
