Connecting to ILOM Using an Ethernet 
Connection
To access the full range of ILOM functionality such as the graphical user interface 
(GUI), you must connect a LAN to the Ethernet port and configure your Ethernet 
connection.
ILOM supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static IP 
addressing.
To configure using DHCP, see 
.
To configure using a static IP address, see 
Configuring ILOM Ethernet Settings Using DHCP
Note – 
This procedure assumes that you have already completed the hardware 
setup and have applied standby power for your server, as described in 
1. Verify that your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control 
(MAC) addresses by checking with your system administrator.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the server’s RJ-45 NET MGT Ethernet port.

If the ILOM SP is not using static IP addresses, it broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER 
packet with the ID of its MAC address. A DHCP server on your LAN returns a 
DHCPOFFER packet containing an IP address and other information. The ILOM SP 
then manages its “lease” of that IP address that was assigned to it by the DHCP 
server.
3. Obtain the ILOM SP IP address from one of the following locations. Record the IP 
address for future reference.
CLI commands. The SP has a serial port to which you can attach a terminal 
device. If you log in to the SP and enter the CLI command show /SP/network
the SP displays the current IP address.
