Host OS
Interconnect Guidelines for Manual Configuration
The following table provides general guidelines for configuring
local network parameters for the host OS internal USB Ethernet connection
point.
Note - The internal USB Ethernet installed on the managed server
is presented in the system as a traditional ethernet interface.
When manually configuring the local interconnect point for the host
OS, it might be necessary to use the host MAC address (hostmacaddress=)
to determine the name assigned to the host OS local interconnect
point.

MS Windows or Linux-based operating system |
-
Ensure that the internal Ethernet-over-USB device
is automatically discovered by operating
system.
-
Install the ilomconfig tool.
This tool is included in the Oracle Hardware
Management Pack software distribution.
Note -
As an alternative to using the ilomconfig
tool, you can use OS networking commands to
configure the internal Ethernet-over-USB
connection point addresses.
-
In the ilomconfig tool, do one of the following:
-
Manually set the connection point addresses
for the internal Ethernet-over-USB interface:
ilomconfig enable interconnect
--spipaddress=x.x.x.x
--netmask=x.x.x.x
--hostipaddress=x.x.x.x
-or-
-
Manually set the default connection point
addresses for the internal Ethernet-over-USB
interface:
ilomconfig enable
interconnect
|
Solaris |
-
Ensure that the internal Ethernet-over-USB device
is automatically discovered by Oracle
Solaris.
-
In the ilomconfig tool, do one of the following:
Note -
The ilomconfig tool is part of Oracle Solaris,
no installation is required.
-
Manually set the connection point addresses
for the internal Ethernet-over-USB interface:
ilomconfig enable interconnect
--spipaddress=x.x.x.x
--netmask=x.x.x.x
--hostipaddress=x.x.x.x
-or-
-
Manually set the default connection point
addresses for the internal Ethernet-over-USB
interface:
ilomconfig enable
interconnect
