ILOM Sideband Management

By default, you connect to the server's SP using the out-of-band network management port (NET MGT). The ILOM sideband management feature enables you to select either the NET MGT port or one of the server's Gigabit Ethernet ports (NET 0, 1), which are in-band ports, to send and receive ILOM commands to and from the server SP. In-band ports are also called sideband ports.

The advantage of using a sideband management port to manage the server's SP is that one less cable connection and one less network session are needed. In configurations where a great number of servers are being managed, such as data centers, sideband management can represent a significant savings in hardware and network utilization.


Note - Connectivity to the server SP might be lost when the SP management port configuration is changed while you are connected to the SP using a network connection, such as SSH, web, or ILOM Remote Console.


You can configure sideband management using either the web interface or the command-line interface (CLI). For instructions, refer to following sections: "Configure Sideband Management Using the Web Interface" on page 9 "Configure Sideband Management Using the CLI" on page 10.
