(state=)

The network State property is enabled by default. This property must always be enabled in order for Oracle ILOM to operate in an IPv4 network environment or in a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment.

CLI Syntax to Set Network State:

set /SP|CMM/network pendingstate=enabled|disabled

Out of Band MAC Address

Sideband MAC Address

The media access control (MAC) addresses for the server SP and CMM are set at the factory.

The MAC Address properties for both the SP and CMM are non-configurable read-only properties in Oracle ILOM.

CLI Syntax to Show MAC Address Properties:

show /SP|CMM/network

(managementport=)

All servers shipped with Oracle ILOM include a physical network management port (MGT) used for connecting to Oracle ILOM over a network. Some systems shipped with Oracle ILOM also support sideband management. Sideband management shares the use of a physical data port (NETn) on the server to permit network access to both the host operating system and Oracle ILOM.

For systems supporting this option, network administrators can either choose to accept the default Management Port property (MGMT) or modify the Management Port property for sideband management use (NETn).

CLI Syntax for SP Management Port:

set /SP/network pendingmanagementport=MGMT|NETn

• Sideband Network Management Connection

• Dedicated Network Management Connection (Default)

The property for IPv4 Discovery Mode in Oracle ILOM is set to DHCP by default. When this property is set to DHCP, Oracle ILOM uses DHCP to determine the physical network address for the server SP or CMM.

Optionally, network administrators can disable the DHCP property and choose to configure a static IPv4 network address, Netmask address and Gateway address for the server SP or CMM.

Note. When DHCP is set, Oracle ILOM uses the default Auto DNS property to assign the DNS named server and search path. For dual-stack DHCP configurations, the DNS settings in Oracle ILOM can be set to receive DNS information from either the IPv4 or the IPv6 DHCP server.

CLI Syntax for IPv4 IP Discovery Mode:

set /SP|CMM/network pendingipdiscoverymode=dhcp|static

DHCP Client ID (dhcp_clientid=)

The property for the DHCP Client ID is set to None by default. Optionally, network administrators can set a SysID (System Identifier) for the DHCP Client.

CLI Syntax for IPv4 DHCP Client ID:

set /SP|CMM/network pendingdhcp_clientid=none|sysid

Network Address

Netmask Address

Gateway Address

The IP4 user-configurable address properties for Network, Netmask, and Gateway are disabled in Oracle ILOM by default.

Optionally, network administrators can set a Static value for the IP Discovery Mode property and manually populate the static IPv4 addresses for Network, Netmask and Gateway.

CLI Syntax for IPv4 Static Addresses:

set /SP|CMM/network pendingipaddress=value pendingipnetmask=value pendingipgateway=value

State (/ipv6/ state=)

The IPv6 State property is enabled in Oracle ILOM by default. Optionally, network administrators can disable the IPv6 network state for any network environment that is not dependent on dual-stack IP translation.

Note – The IPv6 state must be enabled in Oracle ILOM for dual-stack IP translations.

ICLI Syntax for IPv6 State:

set /SP|CMM/network/ipv6 state=enabled|disabled

(/ipv6 autoconfig=)

The IPv6 Autoconfig property is set to Stateless in Oracle ILOM by default. When the Autoconfig Stateless property is enabled, Oracle ILOM learns the IPv6 address for the server SP or CMM from a network router configured for IPv6.

When the IPv6 Autoconfig Stateless property is set to None, Oracle ILOM is prevented from using Autoconfig Stateless to learn the server SP or CMM IPv6 network address.

Special Considerations:

• The IPv6 Autoconfig Stateless options determine the IP address without any IP support from a DHCPv6 server.

• The read-only property value for dhcpv6_server_duid= is set to none when only the IPv6 Autoconfig Stateless property is enabled in Oracle ILOM.

• The IPv6 Auto config Stateless property can be enabled in Oracle ILOM at the same time when either: DHCPv6_Stateless or DHCPv6_Stateful is enabled.

CLI Syntax for IPv6 Auto Config:

set /SP|CMM/network/ipv6 autoconfig=stateless|none

The DHCPv6 Autoconfig property is disabled (set to None) in Oracle ILOM by default. When this property is set to None, Oracle ILOM is prevented from learning the SP or CMM network address and DNS information from a DHCPv6 server on the network.

Optionally, network administrators can choose to have a network connected DHCPv6 server allocate the IPv6 address and DNS information for the SP or CMM by setting the DHCPv6 Autoconfig property in Oracle ILOM to one of the following values:

• DHCPv6 Stateless – When enabled, Oracle ILOM uses the DHCPv6 Stateless Autoconfig to learn the IPv6 address and DNS information for the server SP or CMM.

• DHCPv6 Stateful – When enabled, Oracle ILOM uses the DHCPv6 stateful Autoconfig to learn the IPv6 address and DNS information for the server SP or CMM.

Special Considerations:

• The IPv6 Autoconfig Stateless property can be enabled in Oracle ILOM at the same time when DHCPv6 Autoconfig is enabled to use either: DHCPv6_Stateless or DHCPv6_Stateful.

• For dual-stack DHCP configurations, the DNS settings in Oracle ILOM can be set to receive DNS information from either the IPv4 or the IPv6 DHCP server.

• The unique ID for the DHCPv6 server that was last used by Oracle ILOM to retrieve the DHCPv6 network information is identified by the dhcpv6_server_duid property.

CLI Syntax for DHCPv6 Autoconfig:

set /SP|CMM/network/ipv6 autoconfig=dhcpv6_stateless|dhcpv6_stateful|none

(/ipv6 link_local_ipaddress=)

Oracle ILOM applies the following principles to build the Link-Local Address for the SP or CMM:

• Oracle ILOM uses the SP or CMM MAC address in conjunction with the link-local identifier prefix.

• Oracle ILOM, at initialization, uses the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) protocol to ensure that the reported Local-Link address for the SP (or CMM) is unique.

CLI Syntax for Link-Local Address:

show /SP|CMM/network/ipv6

Static IP Address

(/ipv6 static_ipaddress=)

The parameters for specifying the IPv6 static IP and netmask are: IPv6_address/ subnet_mask_length_in_bits. The gateway address is automatically configured.

Example: fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64

CLI Syntax for Static IPv6 Address:

set /SP|CMM/network/ipv6 static_ipaddress=ipaddress/subnetmask

CLI Syntax for IPv6 Gateway:

show/ SP|CMM/network/ipv6

• Both or one of the properties for Autoconfig Stateless and Autoconf DHCPv6_Stateful are enabled in Oracle ILOM.

• The IPv6 network router or the DHCPv6 server reports multiple dynamic network addresses for the server SP or the CMM.

Special Considerations:

• Oracle ILOM stores up 10 dynamic addresses in an internal structure.

• Oracle ILOM responds to all dynamic network addresses.

• If only the Autoconfig DHCPv6_Stateless property is set, no dynamic network addresses are reported in the Oracle ILOM interfaces.

CLI Syntax for Dynamic IPv6 Address:

show /SP|CMM/network/ipv6

(commitpending=true)

CLI – All pending network modifications must be committed under the /network target.

Special Considerations:

• The IPv4 pending modifications take affect after they are committed or saved.

• Assigning a new static IPv4 address to a managed device will end all active Oracle ILOM sessions to the SP or CMM. To log back in to Oracle ILOM, open a new browser session and enter the newly assigned IPv 4 address.

• The IPv6 pending modifications take affect after they are committed or saved. Changes to the autoconfig properties do not need to be committed in the CLI.

• Newly learned auto-configuration IPv6 addresses will not affect any Oracle ILOM session currently connected to the managed device (SP or CMM).

CLI Syntax for IPv4 Commit Pending Modification:

set /SP|CMM/network pendingstate=enabled|disabled pendingipdiscovery=static|dhcp pendingipaddress=value pendingipgateway=value pendingipnetmask=value commitpending=true

CLI Syntax for IPv6 Commit Pending Modifications:

set /SP|CMM/network pendingstate=enabled|disabled pending_static_ipaddress=ip6_address/ subnet_mask_length_in_bits commitpending=true

(auto_dns=)

The Auto DNS via DHCP property is enabled in Oracle ILOM by default. When this property is enabled, Oracle ILOM automatically retrieves the DNS information from the DHCP server.

Optionally, network administrators can disable the Auto DNS property to manually configure the DNS information in Oracle ILOM.

CLI Syntax for Auto DNS via DHCP:

set /SP|CMM/clients/dns auto_dns=enabled|disabled

(nameserver=)

When entering multiple IP addresses, follow these guidelines:

• Each address must be separated by a comma.

• When mixing IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, list the IPv4 address(es) first.

CLI Syntax for DNS Named Server:

set /SP|CMM/clients/dns nameserver=ip_address_1, ipaddress_2, ipaddress_3

(searchpath=)

CLI Syntax for DNS Search Path:

set /SP|CMM/clients/dns searchpath= domain_1.com, domain_2.edu, and so on

The DNS Timeout property value specifies how many seconds the DNS server is allotted to complete a DNS query.

Optionally, network administrators can increase or decrease the default timeout value allotted to the DNS server.

DNS Timeout CLI Syntax:

set /SP|CMM/clients/dns timeout=n

Related Topic:

• Example Setup of Dynamic DNS

The DNS Retries property value specify how many times a DNS query is retried in the event of a timeout.

Optionally, network administrators can increase or decrease the default DNS Retries property value.

DNS Retries CLI Syntax:

set /SP|CMM/clients/dns retries=n

(owner=)

The serial port Owner property is configurable on some Oracle servers. For further information, see Serial Management Port Owner.

CLI Syntax for Serial Port Owner:

set /SP/serial/portsharing owner=SP|hostserver

(/host pendingspeed= flowcontrol=)

Flow Control= None

The Host Serial Port properties are configurable on some Oracle servers.

The property values for the Host Serial Port option must match the property values set for the serial console port on the host server. Often referred to as serial port 0, COM1, or /dev/ttyS0.

CLI Syntax for Host Serial Port:

set /SP|CMM/serial/host pendingspeed=value flowcontrol=value commitpending=true

(/external pendingspeed= flowcontrol=)

Flow Control= None

The external serial port on a managed device is the serial management (SER MGT) port.

Optionally, network administrators can change the default baud rate speed for the external serial port.

CLI Syntax for External Serial Port:

set /SP|CMM/serial/external pendingspeed=value commitpending=true
