Enhanced IP Connectivity Settings Available in Oracle ILOM

Oracle ILOM supports the ability to independently enable or disable the property States for IPv4 and IPv6 network connectivity. In addition, a new static IPv6 gateway property is available for configuration.

To access these enhanced network settings in Oracle ILOM, refer to the following procedure.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM as an Administrator.

   For instructions on how launch Oracle ILOM from the CLI or web interface, see: (link here)

2. To modify the SP network settings, perform one of the following:
   • From the web interface, perform these steps:
     1. Click ILOM Administration → Connectivity → Network.
     2. Modify the settings on the Network Settings page as required.

        For further details about how to configure the properties on the Network Setting page, click the More Details link.

     3. Click Save to save your network property changes in Oracle ILOM.

        Note -  All user sessions on the SP are terminated upon saving the IP network property changes. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, use the newly assigned service processor IP address.

   • From the CLI interface, perform these steps:
     1. To view the assigned IPv4 and IPv6 network settings on the SP, perform the following:

        For IPv4, type: show /SP/network

        For IPv6, type: show /SP/network/ipv6

     2. To view the descriptions about each IPv4 and IPv6 network property, perform the following:

        For IPv4, type: help /SP/network

        For IPv6, type: help /SP/network/ipv6

     3. To modify the IPv4 and IPv6 network properties on the SP, issue the set command.

        IPv4 Example:

        set /SP/network state=enabled|disabled pendingipdiscovery=static|dhcp pendingipaddress=value pendingipgateway=value pendingipnetmask=value

        IPv6 Example:

        set /SP/network/ipv6 state=enabled|disabled pending_static_ipaddress= value/ subnet_mask_valuepending_static_ipgatewayaddress= value

        ---

        Note -  A dual-stack network connection is enabled when the IPv4 and the IPv6 State properties are set to enabled. By default, Oracle ILOM arrives out-of-the-box with network settings enabled for a dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) network connection. If the IPv4 State property is enabled (/SP/network state=enabled) and the IPv6 State property is disabled (/SP/network/ipv6 state=disabled), Oracle ILOM will support an IPv4-only network connection.

        ---

     4. To commit the IPv4 and IPv6 pending network changes in Oracle ILOM, type: set /SP/network commitpending=true

     ---

     Note -  All user sessions on the SP are terminated upon committing the IP network property changes. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, use the newly assigned service processor IP address.
