Oracle^® ILOM Getting Started Guide Firmware Release 4.0.x

Modify Default Network Connectivity Settings

Before You Begin

• This procedure assumes that you have an established local or network management connection to the Oracle ILOM server SP or CMM. For instructions on how to establish a physical local or network connection to Oracle ILOM, see Connect to Oracle ILOM.

• Oracle ILOM is shipped with IPv4 DHCP and IPv6 Stateless default network settings.

  When the network property for IPv4 is set to DHCP, the SP or the CMM automatically configures the DHCP IP address using the DHCP advertisement messages received from the DHCP IPv4 server.

  When the auto-configuration property for IPv6 is set to Stateless, the SP or the CMM automatically configures its dynamic address using the IPv6 router advertisement messages. In addition, the SP or the CMM always generates a non-routable Link-Local IPv6 address, which allows it to be reachable from its local subnet.

• You need Admin (a) role privileges to modify network settings in Oracle ILOM.

• You can modify the server SP or CMM network settings in Oracle ILOM using the CLI or web interface, or using an SNMP client. To locate instructions for performing this task from a CMM or an SNMP client, see the Related Information section following these instructions.

To modify default network settings on the server SP, perform one of the following:

• Modify server SP default network settings – Web Procedure 1

• Modify server SP default network settings – CLI Procedure 2

1. Modify Default Server SP Network Settings – Web Procedure
   1. Click ILOM Administration > Connectivity > Network.
   2. To change the default IPv4 network options, perform one of the following:
      • To change the default IPv4 DHCP Client ID property value (None), select sysid in the DHCP Client ID list box.

        When sysid is specified as the DHCP Client ID, the DHCP client (ILOM SP) uses the unique system identification label (if configured) to retrieve the DHCP address from the DHCP server. When None is specified as the DHCP Client ID, the DHCP client (ILOM SP) uses the system MAC address to retrieve the DHCP address.

      • To assign a static IPv4 address, click to enable the Static IP radio button, and specify the static IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
   3. To change the IPv6 network options, perform one or both of the following:
      • Autoconfig options: Select or clear the check box associated with the IPv6 autoconfig option.
      • Static IP Address: In the Static IP Address text box, type the following input parameters to specify the IPv6 address and subnet mask address:

        <IPv6_address>/<subnet mask address length in bits>

        For example: fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64

   4. Click Save to apply the changes.
2. Modify Default Server SP Network Settings – CLI Procedure
   1. To change the default IPv4 dhcp_clientid=none property and set the value to sysid, type:

      ->set /SP/network dhcp_clientid=sysid

      When sysid is specified as the DHCP Client ID, the DHCP client (ILOM SP) uses the unique system identification label (if configured) to retrieve the DHCP address from the DHCP server. When none is specified as the DHCP Client ID, the DHCP client (ILOM SP) uses the system MAC address to retrieve the DHCP address.

   2. To change the default IPv4 dhcp property and set property values for a static IPv4 address, type:

      -> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static

      -> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=<IPv4_address>

      -> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=<gateway_address>

      -> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=<netmask_address>

   3. To change the default IPv6 autoconfig=stateless property, navigate to the /network/ipv6 target and perform one or both of the following:
      • To change the default autoconfig=stateless property value, type: -> set autoconfig=<property value>

        where <property value> can equal one of the following: stateless stateless_only, dhcpv6_stateless, dhcpv6_stateful, or disable.

      • To assign a static IPv6 address, type: -> set pendingipdiscovery=<IPv6 address>/<subnet mask length in bits>

        For example: -> set pendingipdiscovery=fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64

   4. To save all pending static IPv4 or IPv6 property changes, navigate to the /network target and type:

      -> set commitpending=true
