Setting Up Security

For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO 2 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 workstations 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
and Default Password" (page

Security Access Settings

CAUTION:
can access the iLO 2 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 2 MP
provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized
access to the iLO 2 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 2
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 2 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 rx2660 server.

1. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page.
2. At the iLO 2 MP login MP> prompt, enter the CO command to switch the console terminal from
the MP Main Menu to mirrored/redirected console mode. All mirrored data displays.
