Assign a Static IP Address to the SP

Language:

If you plan to connect to the SP through its NET MGT port (through the dongle's RJ-45 connector), the SP must have a valid IP address.

By default, the server module is configured to obtain an IP address from DHCP services in your network. If the network your server module is connected to does not support DHCP for IP addressing, perform this procedure.

To configure the server module to support DHCP, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation.

Set the SP to accept a static IP address.

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

Set the IP address for the SP.

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

Set the IP address for the SP gateway.

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

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.

Verify that the pending parameters are set correctly.

-> show /SP/network 
  /SP/network 
     Targets: 
     Properties: 
        commitpending = (Cannot show property)
        dhcp_server_ip = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        ipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        ipdiscovery = dhcp
        ipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
        macaddress = 00:21:28:C1:6E:C5
        managementport = /System/MB/SP/NETMGMT
        outofbandmacaddress = 00:21:28:C1:6E:C5
        pendingipaddress = service-processor-IPaddr
        pendingipdiscovery = static
        pendingipgateway = gateway-IPaddr
        pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
        pendingmanagementport = /System/MB/SP/NETMGMT
        sidebandmacaddress = 00:21:28:C1:6E:C4
        state = enabled

Commit the changes to the SP network parameters.
```
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true 
Set 'commitpending' to 'true' 
```
Note - You can type the show /SP/network command again to verify that the parameters have been updated.

Set the static IP address when you configure the Oracle Solaris OS.
See Configure the Preinstalled OS.
