Configuring The Ilo 2 Mp Lan Using The Rs-232 Serial Port - HP Integrity rx2660 User's & Service Manual

Table 28 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:
1. Obtain the iLO 2 MP MAC address. To set the IP address using ARP, you must know the MAC
address of the iLO 2 MP LAN. You can find the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN on the
label located on the server front panel.
IMPORTANT:
MAC address of the server core LAN.
2. Verify that an active LAN cable on the local subnet is connected to the iLO 2 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 iLO MAC address.
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 2 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 2 MP LAN using this IP address.
8. Use web or telnet access to connect to the iLO 2 MP from a host on the local subnet and finish
setting up the LAN parameters (gateway and subnet).

Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port

The following procedure shows how to configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the RS-232 serial port.
IMPORTANT:
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 LAN to access the iLO 2 MP and use the LC command.
To assign a static IP address using the LC command:
Description
This command assigns an IP address to the iLO 2 MP MAC address. This ARP table entry maps
the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN interface to the static IP address designated for that
interface.
This command tests network connections. It verifies that the iLO 2 MP LAN port is configured
with the appropriate IP address.
Make sure you obtain the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the
Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same network.
Ensure you have a console connection through the RS-232 serial port or a network
