This section describes how to configure the network settings for ILOM using the ILOM command-line interface (CLI).
Network settings have two sets of properties: pending and active. The active settings are currently in use by ILOM. These settings are read-only. If you want to change settings, enter the updated settings as the pending settings (pendingipaddress or pendingipgateway), then set the commitpending property to true. This prevents accidental disconnections for both port and network settings.
Ensure that the same IP address is always assigned to ILOM by either assigning a static IP address to your ILOM after initial setup, or configuring your DHCP server to always assign the same IP address to ILOM. This enables ILOM to be easily located on the network.
