Modify Network Settings From the Oracle ILOM CLI
This procedure provides instructions for modifying Oracle ILOM network settings from
the command-line interface (CLI).
-
Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.
Use the relevant method:
-
Perform the network configuration instructions that apply to your network environment, then
test the network settings:
-
To view or configure IPv4 network settings, perform Step 3 and Step 4.
-
To view or configure IPv6 network settings, perform Steps 5 through 8.
-
For IPv4 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the
/SP/network directory:
cd /SP/network
-
Do one of the following:
-
If you have a DHCP server on the network, type the following command to view the settings
assigned to the server by the DHCP server:
show
-
If there is no DHCP server, or if you want to assign settings, use the set
command to assign values for the properties shown in the table below.
For example:
set pendingipdiscovery=static
set pendingipaddress=10.8.183.106
set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
set pendingipgateway=10.8.183.254
set commitpending=true
|
|
|
state
|
enabled or disabled
|
The network state is enabled by default. If you disable the network connection to the SP, you
can only access Oracle ILOM using the serial management port.
|
pendingipdiscovery
|
static or dhcp
|
Network discovery options include static for a static IP address or
dhcp for an IP address assigned by a DHCP server (default).
|
pendingipaddress
pendingipnetmask
pendingipgateway
|
<ip_address>
<netmask>
<gateway>
|
To assign multiple static network settings type the set command for each
property (IP address, netmask, and gateway) along with the static value that you want to
assign.
|
commitpending
|
true
|
Type set commitpending=true to commit changes.
|
|
Note -
Setting commitpending to true commits the
changes made to the network settings. This terminates your Oracle ILOM connection.
You need to log in to use the new settings and continune.
To test the IPv4 or IPv6 network settings, see Step 9.
-
For IPv6 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the
SP/network/ipv6 directory:
cd SP/network/ipv6
-
To view the IPv6 network settings, type the show command.
For example:
show
/SP/network/ipv6
Targets:
Properties:
state = enabled
autoconfig = stateless
dhcpv6_server_duid = (none)
link_local_ipaddress = fe80::214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
static_ipaddress = ::/128
ipgateway = fe80::211:5dff:febe:5000/128
pending_static_ipaddress = ::/128
dynamic_ipaddress_1 fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
Commands:
cd
show
-
To configure an IPv6 auto-configuration option, use the set command to
specify the following auto-configuration property values.
For example:
set state=enabled
set autoconfig=dhcpv6_stateless
|
|
|
state
|
enabled or disabled
|
The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable an IPv6 auto-configuration option,
this state must be set to enabled.
|
autoconfig
|
Values include:
stateless
dhcpv6_stateless
dhcpv6_stateful
disable
|
Use autoconfig command followed by one of the following values:
-
stateless (default setting)
Automatically assigns IP address learned from IPv6 network router.
-
dhcpv6_stateless
Automatically assigns DNS information learned from the DHCPv6 server. The
dhcpv6_stateless property value is available in Oracle ILOM as of 3.0.14.
-
dhcpv6_stateful
Automatically assigns the IPv6 address learned from the DHCPv6 server. The
dhcpv6_stateful property value is available in Oracle ILOM as of 3.0.14.
-
disable
Disables all auto-configuration property values and sets the read-only property value for link
local address.
|
|
Note -
The IPv6 configuration options take effect after they are set. You do not need to commit these
changes under the /network target.
Note -
You can enable the stateless auto-configuration option to run at the same
time as when the option for dhcpv6_stateless is enabled or as when the option for
dhcpv6_stateful is enabled. However, the auto-configuration options for
dhcpv6_stateless and dhcpv6_stateful should not be enabled to
run at the same time.
-
To set a static IPv6 address, complete these steps:
-
Specify the property types. For example:
set state=enabled
set pending_static_ipaddress=fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
|
|
|
state
|
enabledordisabled
|
The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable a static IP address this state must be
set to enabled.
|
pending_static_ipaddress
|
<ipv6_address>/ <subnet_mask_length_in_bits>
|
Type this command followed by the property value for the static IPv6 address and netmask that
you want to assign to the device. IPv6 address
example:fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64
|
|
-
To commit the pending IPv6 static network parameters, type:
set /SP/network commitpending=true
Note -
Network settings are considered pending until you commit them. Assigning a new
static IP address to the server ends all active Oracle ILOM sessions with the server.
To log back in to Oracle ILOM, create a new session using the newly assigned IP
address.
-
Test the IPv4 or IPv6 network configuration from Oracle ILOM using the Network Test Tools
(Ping and Ping6).
For details, see Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration From the Oracle ILOM CLI.
