Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet Connection

1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the NET MGT port on the server and the network switch.

   DHCP and IPv6 stateless auto-configuration are enabled by default, allowing a DHCP server on the network to automatically assign network settings to the service processor (SP).

2. To launch and log in to Oracle ILOM, use either the Oracle ILOM web interface or command-line interface.

   • To launch and log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface:

     1. Open a web browser window.

     2. Ensure that the web browser is supported by Oracle ILOM. For more information, refer to the Oracle ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics, Firmware Release 5.0 at Systems Management Documentation.

     3. Type the IP address or host name of the server in the browser address bar, for example 192.0.2.23.

     4. In the Oracle ILOM Login dialog box, type your user name and password, and click Log In.

        If this is the first time you are accessing Oracle ILOM, use root for the user name and changeme for the password.

        The Oracle ILOM Summary Information page appears.

   • To launch and log in to Oracle ILOM from the command-line interface, perform the following steps:

     1. Open a terminal window.

     2. Type your Oracle ILOM user name and the IP address or host name of the server SP using the following syntax:

        • ssh -l username host

          or

        • ssh username @ host

          Where host is either the IP address or the host name of the server SP.

          For example: ssh root@192.0.2.23

          If this is the first time you are accessing Oracle ILOM, use root for the user name and changeme for the password.

     3. At the Oracle ILOM password prompt, type your password, and press Enter.

        Oracle ILOM displays a default command prompt (->), indicating that you successfully logged in.
