Assign a Static IP Address to the SP

If your network uses DHCP to assign IP addresses, the DHCP device will automatically assign an IP address to the SP. If your network does not use DHCP, follow this procedure to assign a static IP address to the SP.

1. Log in to the SP using a serial connection through the SER MGT port.

   For serial connection instructions, see Connect a Terminal or Emulator to the SER MGT Port. Log in to the SP as root (changeme is the default root password) to display the Oracle ILOM (->) prompt.

   hostname login: root 
   Password: password (nothing displayed)

   -> 

2. Set the SP to accept a static IP address.

   -> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static 
   Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static' 

3. Set the IP address for the SP.

   -> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr 
   Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr' 

4. Set the IP address for the SP gateway.

   -> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr 
   Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr' 

5. Set the netmask for the SP.

   -> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 
   Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0' 

   This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.

6. Use the show /SP/network -display properties command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.

   The code example shows parameters that have been set to convert a SP from a DHCP configuration to a static configuration.

   -> show /SP/network -display properties
    /SP/network
      Properties:
          commitpending = (Cannot show property)
          dhcp_server_ip = none
          ipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
          ipdiscovery = dhcp
          ipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
          ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
          macaddress = 00:21:28:6F:A7:BB
          managementport = /SYS/MB/SP/NETMGMT
          outofbandmacaddress = 00:21:28:6F:A7:BB
          pendingipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
          pendingipdiscovery = static
          pendingipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
          pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
          pendingmanagementport = /SYS/MB/SP/NETMGMT
          sidebandmacaddress = 00:21:F8:6F:A7:BA
          state = enabled
   ->

   Note - After setting the configuration parameters, you must enter the set /SP/network commitpending=true command for the new values to take affect.

   ---

7. Commit the changes to the SP network parameters.

   -> set /SP/network commitpending=true 
   Set 'commitpending' to 'true' 

   ---

   Note - You can run the show /SP/network command again (after performing the set /SP/network commitpending=true command) to verify that the parameters have been updated.
