Setting Up Security

For greater security and reliability, HP generally recommends that iLO 2 MP management traffic
be on a separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access
to that network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main
network, it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network allows
administrators to physically control which workstations are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends you modify the default settings during the initial logon session and
determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. Create
local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See

Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO 2
MP access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized
businesses.
Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO 2 MP user access. This is
ideal for environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use
directory services, HP recommends leaving at least one local account enabled as an alternate
method of access.
