Post DHCP Requirements

After the DHCP server has assigned IP address(es) to the SP network interface(s), you can identify the IP address(es) that were assigned by the DHCP server using one of the following methods:

Method

Description

DHCP log file

(Note that this log file is not part of ILOM, it is the log file on the DHCP server.)

Open the DHCP log file and do the following:

  1. Locate the MAC address of the service processor in the MAC address field.

  2. Identify the IP value assigned in the IP address field that corresponds to the MAC address in the MAC address field.

  3. Use the IP address you identified in Step 2 to remotely communicate with ILOM using the web interface.

Tip. Typically, DHCP log file entries are individual lines with the following comma-separated fields: ID, Date, Time, Description, IP Address, Host Name, MAC Address.

Serial console connection

Establish a serial console connection to the serial port on the server or CMM.

Log in to ILOM as root using the CLI and type one of the following commands:

  • For rackmount standalone servers: show /SP/network

  • For a chassis blade server module: show /CH/BLn/SP network

  • For a chassis CMM in slot 0: show /CMM/network/CMM0

  • For chassis CMM in slot 1: show /CMM/network/CMM1
