Using iLO 127
When the Shared Network Port is selected, iLO must be configured through
either the iLO RBSU or XML. Configuration through RBSU requires that the
system be rebooted.
Enabling the iLO Shared Network Port Feature
The iLO Shared Network Port feature is disabled by default. This feature can be
enabled through:
•
•
•
iLO RBSU
The iLO Web interface
XML scripting
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 iLO RBSU
1. Connect the server's NIC port 1 to a LAN.
2. When prompted during POST, press the F8 key to enter iLO RBSU.
3. Select Network>NIC>TCP/IP and press the Enter key.
