Troubleshooting the network

Cause
An incorrect setup for the compute enclosure and complex wide internal network can lead to issues with
the following tasks:
• Powering on/off partitions
• Update firmware
• Gathering status information
Each Monarch iLO and OA in the complex must have a unique IP address set up. The IP addresses will
be obtained by either using a DHCP server or defining the IP addresses using EBIPA. Non-Monarch iLO
addresses default to link local.
Supported IP address ranges for EBIPA
Supported IP address ranges for EBIPA include all IP addresses except those in the ranges of
169.254.x.y and 10.254.x.y, which are reserved for the internal management network. The non-restricted
ranges may be used for iLOs and OAs as long they are not duplicated (generate IP address conflicts). In
addition, all the IP addresses must be within the same subnet defined by netmask and IP address so that
all OAs as well as all iLOs fit into that subnet.
Use the show ebipa and show OA network all commands to check the network settings for iLO
and OA:
