Assign a Static IP Address to the NET MGT Port

Language:

If you plan to connect to the SP through its NET MGT port, the SP must have a valid IP address.

By default, the server is configured to obtain an IP address from DHCP services in your network. If the network your server is connected to does not support DHCP for IP addressing, perform this procedure.

Note - To configure the server to support DHCP, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation.

Set the SPM to accept a static IP address.

-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static 
Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'

Set the IP address for the SP.
```
->set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr' 
```
To change the default IPv6 DHCP property and set property values for a static IPv6 address, refer to the section Modifying Default Connectivity Configuration Properties in the Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance.

Set the IP address for the SP gateway.

-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr
Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'

Set the netmask for the SP.
```
-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 
Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'
```
This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.

Verify that the pending parameters are set correctly.

-> show /SP/network
  /SP/network 
     Targets: 
     Properties: 
        commitpending = (Cannot show property)
        dhcp_clientid = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        dhcp_server_ip = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        ipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        ipdiscovery = dhcp
        ipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
        macaddress = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
        managementport = MGMT
        outofbandmacaddress = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
        pendingipaddress = service-processor-IPaddr
        pendingipdiscovery = static
        pendingipgateway = gateway-IPaddr
        pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
        pendingmanagementport = MGMT
        sidebandmacaddress = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
        state = enabled

Set the changes to the SP network parameters.
```
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true 
Set 'commitpending' to 'true'
```
Note - You can type the show /SP/network command again to verify that the parameters have been updated.
