Management Network IP Address Configuration

ILOM’s IP connections are typically configured to the SP network interface, which enables you to separate management traffic and data traffic. The DHCP or Static IP address(es) you assign to a server SP or CMM are known as the management network IP address(es), not to be confused with the data network IP address(es).

Note that the data network IP addresses are configured after installing a host operating system on a server. It is important to distinguish the data network IP addresses from the management network IP addresses since they both serve different purposes.

All future references, in this guide, to the management network IP addresses will be referred to as the “IP address of the server SP” or “IP address of the CMM.” Typically, these references are presented when providing instructions for connecting to the ILOM web interface or ILOM CLI.

For more information about the Sun Blade 8000 ILOM Management Network, see Management Ethernet Network. For additional information about other Sun server platform ILOM Management Network, consult the user documentation supplied with that server.

For information about assigning data network IP addresses to a server, consult the user documentation provided with the host operating system.
