Configuring The Ilo Mp Lan Using The Rs-232 Serial Port - HP rp4410 Service Manual

Table 3-16 ARP Ping Commands
Command
arp -s
ping
The following procedure explains how to use the ARP Ping utility using a PC that is connected
to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server.
To configure a static IP address using the ARP Ping utility, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the iLO MP MAC address. To set the IP address using ARP, you must know the
MAC address of the iLO MP LAN. You can find the MAC address of the iLO MP LAN on
a label on the server.
IMPORTANT:
MAC address to the server core LAN.
2. Verify that an active LAN cable on the local subnet is connected to the iLO MP LAN port
on the server.
3. Access a PC on the same physical subnet as the server.
4. Open a DOS window on the PC.
5. At the DOS prompt, enter arp -s to assign the IP address to the DNS name.
arp -s <IP address you assign to the iLO MAC address> <iLO MAC address>
For example:
arp -s 192.0.2.1 00-00-0c-07-ac-00
6. At the DOS prompt, enter ping followed by the IP address to verify that the iLO MP LAN
port is configured with the appropriate IP address. The destination address is the IP address
that is mapped to the iLO MAC address. Perform this task from the PC that has the ARP
table entry.
ping <IP address you assigned to the iLO MAC address>
For example:
ping 192.0.2.1
7. Connect to the iLO MP LAN using this IP address.
8. To connect to the iLO MP from a host on the local subnet and finish setting up the LAN
parameters (gateway and subnet), use the web or telnet access.

Configuring the iLO MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port

The following procedure shows how to configure the iLO MP LAN using the RS-232 serial port.
IMPORTANT:
network. Duplicate server IP addresses conflict and the servers cannot connect to the network.
The LC command enables you to configure an IP address, DNS name, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
IMPORTANT:
connection through the RS-232 serial port or a network connection through the LAN.
To assign a static IP address using the LC command, follow these steps:
Description
This command assigns an IP address to the iLO MP MAC address. This ARP table entry maps
the MAC address of the iLO MP LAN interface to the static IP address designated for that
interface.
This command tests network connections. It verifies that the iLO MP LAN port is configured
with the appropriate IP address.
Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO MP LAN and not the
Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same
To access the iLO MP, use the LC command to ensure you have a console
