Setting Up Security

For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO 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 enables
administrators to physically control which servers are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login 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
Accounts and Default Password" (page

Security Access Settings

CAUTION:
can access the iLO MP until you change the default user name and password.
HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.
Determine the security access required and user accounts and privileges needed. The iLO MP
provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized
access to the iLO MP:
• Change the default user name and password. See
Password" (page
• Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO 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 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.

Accessing the Host Console

This section describes the different ways to access the host console of the server.

Accessing the Host Console With the TUI - CO Command

This section describes the steps to access the host console using the text user interface (TUI).
To access the host console through the iLO MP, follow these steps:
1. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page.
2. At the iLO MP login prompt ( MP>), enter the CO command to switch the console terminal
from the MP Main Menu to mirrored or redirected console mode. All mirrored data displays.
3. To return to the iLO MP command interface, press Ctrl-B or Esc and + and press Enter.
