7.5 Connect to ILOM via the Network

Under normal circumstances, you can access ILOM via the network. You can use the Ethernet connection method to connect to the ILOM. You must know the ILOM's Ethernet address. For the default IP addresses assigned at the time of manufacturing, see Default IP Addresses and Ports. You can use either the CLI or the web interface to access ILOM. Alternatively, you can launch a remote KVM session to access ILOM.

Note:

You can use this connection method only if ILOM IP addresses are configured and can be accessed over the network. The network must be connected to the NET0 port (with sideband) of each of the Exalogic compute nodes or hardware components.

Oracle recommends that you use this connection method to access ILOM for Exalogic compute nodes.

This section discusses the following topics:

• Connect to the CLI

• Connect to the Web GUI

• Launch a Remote KVM Session

7.5.1 Connect to the CLI

1. Start your SSH client, such as PuTTY.
2. In the Host Name (or IP address) field, enter the ILOM IP address of the Exalogic compute node or hardware component you want to connect to.
3. Ensure that SSH is chosen as the Connection Type.
4. Type the user name and the password, when prompted. The default user name is root.

   The CLI command prompt is displayed.

7.5.2 Connect to the Web GUI

1. In the address bar of a web browser, type the ILOM IP address of an Exalogic compute node or hardware component, and press Enter.

   The login screen is displayed.

2. Enter the user name and the password. The default user name is root.
3. Click Log In.

   The web GUI is displayed.

7.5.3 Launch a Remote KVM Session

To access the ILOM consoles for Exalogic machine components that are connected to ILOM, do the following:

1. Ensure that pop-up blockers are disabled in your browser before you launch the remote console.
2. Type the ILOM IP address, which you noted down in the procedure ILOM IP Addresses for Exalogic Machine Components, in the address bar of a web browser.
3. Log in to ILOM using the default user name root. After login, the ILOM home page is displayed.
4. Click the Remote Control tab, and click Launch Remote Console.

   The remote console is displayed.
