Enabling Ilo Shared Network Port Feature Through Ilo Rbsu - HP Integrated Lights-Out User Manual

When configured for iLO Shared Network Port, iLO's MTU is 320 bytes, and its DHCP request packets
are split into multiple packets (using IP fragmentation). This may be a problem if your DHCP server is on a
different subnet, and your DHCP relay agent (commonly your Layer 3 Ethernet Switch) does not support
forwarding of fragmented DHCP frames. The DHCP server will never receive the DHCP request from iLO,
and iLO will not be able to obtain an IP address. In this situation, you must configure iLO with a static IP
address.
Enabling the iLO Shared Network Port feature through the web interface
Connect iLO NIC port 1 to a LAN.
1.
Open a browser, and browse to the iLO IP address or DNS name.

available on supported servers.
Click Apply at the bottom of the page.
5.
Click Yes in the warning dialog box, and click OK.
6.
After iLO resets, the Shared Network Port feature will be active. Any network traffic going to or
originating from iLO is directed through the system's NIC port 1.
The iLO web interface is no longer available after iLO resets. To restore the use of the web interface, iLO's
Dedicated Management NIC port must be re-enabled. Refer to the "Re-enabling the dedicated iLO
management port (on page 43)" section for more information.
Only the Shared Management NIC Port or the dedicated iLO NIC port is active for server management at
one time. They both cannot be enabled at the same time.
