Console Connection and Setup Preparation Preparation There are several tasks to perform before you can configure the iLO MP LAN. • Determine the physical access method to select and connect cables. • Determine the iLO MP LAN configuration method and assign an IP address if necessary. Determining the Physical iLO MP Access Method Before you can access the iLO MP, you must first determine the correct physical connection method. The iLO MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating system.

Preparation
There are several tasks to perform before you can configure the iLO MP LAN.
•
Determine the physical access method to select and connect cables.
•
Determine the iLO MP LAN configuration method and assign an IP address if necessary.
Determining the Physical iLO MP Access Method
Before you can access the iLO MP, you must first determine the correct physical connection method. The iLO
MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN drop, IP address, and
networking information from that of the port used by the operating system. See your server installation guide
for rear panel console connection port identification and cable connection information.
Table 6-2 lists the appropriate connection method, required connection components, and connectors to the
host console. Use Table 6-2 to determine your physical connection method.
