10. To assign a static IP ADDRESS, type the following commands in exact order:
ELOM:
set /SP/network IPSource=static
set /SP/network IPAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set /SP/network Netmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set /SP/network Gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Where xxx is the IP address.
ILOM:
set /SP/network/ pendingipdiscovery=static
set /SP/network/ pendingipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set /SP/network/ pendingipnetmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set /SP/networks/ pendingipgateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set /SP/networks/
Where xxx is the IP address
Example 2: Set to DHCP IP address
To change the SP static IP address to a DHCP IP address using the serial connection
(system management port), perform the following steps:
1. Connect a terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the server
serial port.
2. Ensure that the server hardware is installed and cables are inserted.
3. Verify that your terminal, laptop, PC, or terminal server is operational.
4. Configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software running on a
laptop or PC to the following settings:
8,N,1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
■
9600 baud
■
Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
■
Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)
■
5. Connect a null serial modem cable from the server's back panel RJ45 serial
port to a terminal device (If not connected already).
See
for the serial port position.
