If the OA/iLO network port on the enclosure is connected to the local network that has a DHCP
server, your iLO 2 MP IP address is automatically generated by the DHCP server. The server
blade is factory set with DHCP enabled.
For complete OA information, the following guides can be found on the HP website:
•
For CLI, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator Command Line Interface User Guide.
•
For web GUI, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
