The Oracle Server X5-8 supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 settings, which enable Oracle ILOM to fully operate in an IPv4 and IPv6 network environment.
For IPv4 configurations, DHCP is enabled by default, allowing a DHCP server on the network to automatically assign network settings to the server.
For IPv6 configurations, IPv6 stateless auto-configuration is enabled by default, allowing an IPv6 router on the network to assign the network settings. In a typical configuration, the server accepts the settings assigned by the DHCP server or IPv6 router.
The procedures in this section enable you to test that the assigned settings are working correctly and to establish a connection to Oracle ILOM locally and remotely.
