Modify IPv4 Network Settings From the Oracle ILOM CLI

Use this procedure to modify the server's IPv4 network settings using the Oracle ILOM CLI.

To modify IPv6 network settings, see Modify IPv6 Network Settings From the Oracle ILOM CLI.

1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI. See:
   • Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Local Serial Connection
   • Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet Connection

   ---

   Note -  If you are logged in to Oracle ILOM using an Ethernet connection, your connection is terminated when you set commitpending to true. When this happens, log back in using the new settings.

   ---

2. Use the cd command to navigate to the /SP/network directory:

   -> cd /SP/network

3. Do one of the following:
   • If you have a DHCP server on the network, type the following command to view the settings assigned to the server by the DHCP server:

     -> show /SP/network

   • If there is no DHCP server, or if you want to assign settings, use the set command to assign values for the properties listed in the following table. For example:

     -> set /SP/network/ pendingipdiscovery=static

     -> set /SP/network/ pendingipaddress=192.168.183.106

     -> set /SP/network/ pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0

     -> set /SP/network/ pendingipgateway=192.168.183.254

     -> set /SP/network/ commitpending=true

     Note -  These steps do not include all of the network configuration commands. For more complete information, see Configuring Oracle ILOM Network Settings in Oracle X4 Series Servers Administration Guide or the Oracle ILOM documentation at http://www.oracle.com/goto/ILOM/docs.

     Property Set Property Value Description state set state=enabled The state parameter modifies both IPv4 and IPv6 as follows: enabled - IPv4 enabled, IPv6 unchanged Note -  To enable IPv6, use /SP/network/ipv6 state = enabled or /SP/network/ipv6_only. ipv4_only - IPv4 enabled, IPv6 disabled ipv6_only - IPv4 disabled, IPv6 enabled disabled - ipv4 disabled, IPv6 disabled Note -  Older versions of Oracle ILOM do not include the ipv4-only or ipv6-only commands. On these versions, you cannot enable IPv6 if IPv4 is disabled. To obtain the options shown here, upgrade to SW 1.2 or newer. pendingipdiscovery set pendingipdiscovery=static To enable a static network configuration, set pendingipdiscovery to static. By default, pendingipdiscovery is set to dhcp. pendingipaddress pendingipnetmask pendingipgateway set pendingipaddress=<ip_address> pendingipnetmask=<netmask> pendingipgateway=<gateway> To assign multiple static network settings, type the set command followed by the pending command for each property value (IP address, netmask, and gateway), then type the static value that you want to assign. commitpending set commitpending=true Type set commitpending=true to commit changes.

   ---

   Note -  If you are logged in to Oracle ILOM using an Ethernet connection, your connection is terminated when you set commitpending to true. When this happens, log back in using the new settings.

4. Test the IPv4 network configuration from Oracle ILOM using the Network Test Tool (Ping).

   For details, see Test IPv4 or IPv6 Network Configuration From the Oracle ILOM CLI.
