View or Modify an SP IPv6 Address

To view or modify the IPv6 address currently assigned to the Oracle ILOM SP:


Note -  You can also change network settings using the BIOS Setup Utility.
  1. Log in to Oracle ILOM using one of the following procedures:

    Note -  If you log in to Oracle ILOM using an Ethernet connection, after you modify the network settings, your connection will be terminated, and you will have to log in again using the new settings.
  2. To navigate to the /SP/network/ipv6 directory, use the cd command:

    -> cd /SP/network/ipv6.

  3. To view the IPv6 network settings configured on the device, type the show command.

    For example, see the following sample output values for the IPv6 properties on a server SP device.

    -> show
    /SP/network/ipv6
    Targets:
     
    Properties:
     state = enabled
     autoconfig = stateless
     dhcpv6_server_duid = (none)
     link_local_ipaddress = 2001:DB8:n:n
     static_ipaddress = ::/128
     ipgateway = 2001:DB8:n:n
     pending_static_ipaddress = ::/128
     dynamic_ipaddress_1 2001:DB8:n:n
     
    Commands:
     cd
     show
     set
    
  4. To configure an IPv6 auto-configuration option, use the set command to specify the following auto-configuration property values:
    Property
    Set Property Value
    Description
    state
    set state=enabled
    The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable an IPv6 auto-configuration option, set this state to enabled.
    autoconfig
    set autoconfig=<value>
    Specify this command followed by the autoconfig value you want to set.
    Options include:
    • stateless (default setting)

      Automatically assigns IP address learned from IPv6 network router.

    • dhcpv6_stateless

      Automatically assigns DNS information learned from the DHCPv6 server.

    • dhcpv6_stateful

      Automatically assigns the IPv6 address learned from the DHCPv6 server.

    • disabled

      Disables all auto-configuration property values and sets the read-only property value for Link Local address.


    Note -  The IPv6 configuration options listed in the above table take effect after they are set, that is, you do not need to commit these changes under the /network target.

    Note -  You can enable the stateless auto-configuration option to run at the same time the option for dhcpv6_stateless is enabled or the option for dhcpv6_stateful is enabled. However, the auto-configuration options for dhcpv6_stateless and dhcpv6_stateful should not be enabled to run at the same time.
  5. To set a static IPv6 address, specify the following property types:
    Property and Set Property Value
    Description
    Property: state
    Set Property Value:set state=enabled
    The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable a static IP address set this state to enabled.
    Property: pending_static_ipaddress
    Set Property Value: set pending_static_ipaddress/<subnet mask length_in_bits>
    Type this command followed by the property value for the static IPv6 address and subnet netmask that you want to assign to the device.IPv6 address example: 2001:DB8:n:n
    Property: commitpending
    Set Property Value: set commitpending=true
    Type set commitpending=true to commit changes.

    Note -  Assigning a new static IP address to the device will end all active Oracle ILOM sessions to the device. To log in again to Oracle ILOM, you will need to create a new session using the newly assigned IP address.
