4. Enter the following information in the NIC Settings section:
•
Select the Use iLO Dedicated Network Port, Use Shared Network Port – LOM, or Use
Shared Network Port – Flexible LOM check box to enable or disable the iLO Dedicated
Network Port or Shared Network Port.
◦ iLO Dedicated Network Port—Uses a NIC with a jack on the back of the server. The
NIC handles iLO traffic only.
◦ Shared Network Port – LOM—Uses a NIC that is built into the server. The NIC handles
server network traffic and can, if iLO is configured to do so, handle iLO traffic at the
same time.
◦ Shared Network Port – Flexible LOM—Uses an optional NIC that plugs into a special
slot on the server. The NIC handles server network traffic and can, if iLO is configured
to do so, handle iLO traffic at the same time. Not all servers support a FlexibleLOM.
For the list of servers that support the Shared Network Port – FlexibleLOM option,
see
“FlexibleLOM support” (page 337) .
On systems that have more than one Shared Network Port option, select the check box,
and then select the LOM or FlexibleLOM option.
For more information about using the Shared Network Port, see “Configuring and using
the iLO Shared Network Port” (page 100) .
•
Select a Link State (iLO Dedicated Network Port only).
The link setting controls the speed and duplex settings of the iLO network transceiver.
NOTE: This setting is not available on blade servers.
The available settings follow:
◦ Automatic (default)—Enables iLO to negotiate the highest supported link speed and
duplex settings when connected to the network
◦ 1000BaseT, Full-duplex—Forces a 1 Gb connection that uses full duplex (not
supported for BL c-Class servers)
◦ 1000BaseT, Half-duplex—Forces a 1 Gb connection that uses half duplex (not
supported for BL c-Class servers)
If you use this setting, ensure that your switch is configured to support 1000BaseT,
Half-duplex.
◦ 100BaseT, Full-duplex—Forces a 100 Mb connection using full duplex
◦ 100BaseT, Half-duplex—Forces a 100 Mb connection using half duplex
◦ 10BaseT, Full-duplex—Forces a 10 Mb connection using full duplex
◦ 10BaseT, Half-duplex—Forces a 10 Mb connection using half duplex
If the Shared Network Port is enabled, you cannot modify the link state or duplex option.
In Shared Network Port configurations, link settings must be managed in the operating
system.
