About LOM IP Addresses

The LOM SP is assigned a DHCP IP address by default. There are two requirements
for DHCP IP address assignment to occur:
Connection to your network must be through a NET MGT PORT.
■
DHCP services must be present on your network infrastructure.
■
If a DHCP server cannot be reached after 3 DHCP requests, the LOM SP is assigned
a static IP address based on the network management port MAC address. This IP
address is always in the format 192.168.xxx.xxx.
