Setting Options

Use this menu to view and configure iLO access settings.

  • iLO 4 Functionality—Enables or disables the iLO 4 features. The iLO network and communications with operating system drivers are terminated when iLO functionality is disabled.
    NOTE:

    The iLO functionality cannot be disabled on blade servers.

  • iLO 4 Configuration Utility—Enables or disables the iLO 4 Configuration Utility. If this option is set to Disabled, the iLO 4 Configuration Utility menu item is not available when you access the UEFI System Utilities.
  • Require Login for iLO 4 Configuration—Determines whether a user-credential prompt is displayed when a user accesses the iLO 4 Configuration Utility. If this setting is Enabled, a login dialog box opens when you access the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.
  • Show iLO 4 IP Address during POST—Enables the display of the iLO network IP address during host server POST.
  • Local Users—Enables or disables local user account access.
  • Serial CLI Status—Specifies the login model of the CLI feature through the serial port. The following settings are valid:
    • Enabled-Authentication Required—Enables access to the iLO CLP from a terminal connected to the host serial port. Valid iLO user credentials are required.
    • Enabled-No Authentication Required—Enables access to the iLO CLP from a terminal connected to the host serial port. iLO user credentials are not required.
    • Disabled—Disables access to the iLO CLP from the host serial port. Use this option if you are planning to use physical serial devices.
  • Serial CLI Speed (bits/second)—Specifies the speed of the serial port for the CLI feature. The following speeds (in bits per second) are valid: 9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200. For correct operation, set the serial port configuration to no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit (N/8/1).
    NOTE:

    The 38400 speed is supported in the iLO web interface, but is not currently supported by the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.
