Configure a Dedicated Network Management Connection to Oracle ILOM
Before You Begin:
- Review Management Services and Network Default Properties.
- The Management Port property in Oracle ILOM is, by default, set to
route all management traffic through the physical network management port (NET MGT)
on the managed device.
Note:
The dedicated network management connection is designed to be implemented independent of a sideband network management connection. However, either of these network management connections (dedicated or sideband) can coexist with the standard local serial management connection and (or) the internal high-speed interconnect management connection. - To maintain the most reliable and secure environment for Oracle ILOM, the dedicated network management port on the server must always be connected to an internal trusted network or dedicated secure management/private network.
- The Management Port property for Oracle ILOM is configurable from the
Oracle ILOM CLI and web interface. It is also configurable for x86 servers, from the
BIOS Utility.
If you modify the Management Port property from Oracle ILOM, you must log in using either the default
root
account or a user account with Admin (a) role privileges. For log in instructions, see Log In to the Oracle ILOM SP.
