Configuring The Ilo 2 Mp Lan Using The Rs-232 Serial Port - HP Integrity rx3600 Installation Manual

Table 14 ARP Ping Commands
ARP 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 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 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 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.
Syntax
arp -s <IP address you want to assign to the iLO MAC address> <iLO
2 MAC address>
Example from Windows
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.
Syntax
ping <IP address just assigned to the iLO MAC address>
Example from Windows
ping 192.0.2.1
7. Use the IP address to connect to the iLO 2 MP LAN.
8. Use web or telnet access to connect to the iLO 2 MP from a host on the local subnet and
complete the rest of the LAN parameter (gateway, subnet).

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

To configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the RS-232 serial port, follow these steps:
IMPORTANT:
The duplicate server IP addresses conflict and the servers cannot connect to the network.
The LC command enables you to configure an IP address, host name, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
42 Installing the System
Description
This command assigns the 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 the iLO 2 MP LAN port is configured with
the appropriate IP address.
Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the
Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same network.
