The TCP/IP over Ethernet management port, whether dedicated or shared, is a standard Ethernet
10/100Mb interface that connects to the network using a standard Ethernet cable. Before using the
dedicated management port, you must determine the DHCP IP address or set a static IP address.
Obtaining a DHCP IP address from the BIOS Setup Utility
By default, LO100 has DHCP enabled and automatically negotiates an IP address. To view the DHCP IP
address, run the BIOS Setup Utility or retrieve the DHCP IP address using CLP through the serial port
connection. To view the DHCP IP address using the BIOS Setup Utility:
1.
Power on the server by pressing the Power On/Off button on the front panel.
2.
When POST displays the message, ROM-Based Setup, press the F10 key. If the server has an
administrator password configured, the system prompts you to enter the password. If the server does
not have a password configured, the main screen of the BIOS Setup Utility appears.

Using the DNS naming feature
The DNS naming feature enables you to reference the server name assigned to the server without having
to know the server IP address or obtaining the IP address for a given server. This ability to reference the
server name occurs after the server has registered its name with the DNS, using the default naming
sequence assigned by LO100, LO100 - {Server Serial Number} . (For example, LO100 - CNQ123456.)
