Managing Native IP
Tasks for creating secure tunnels and obtaining native IP access on page 8 describes tasks for
creating the secure tunnel that must exist between the user’s workstation and the MergePoint 5224/
5240 SP manager before an authorized user can enable Native IP and the Go to native web interface
can be active. Figure 3.8 shows an example of a HP iLO web interface as it might appear after an
authorized user has the needed tunnel and clicks the Go to native web interface link.

CAUTION: When finished with management tasks performed using native IP, the authorized user should always
click the Disable link. Leaving native IP enabled creates a security risk.
To enable access to Native IP on a target device (Web Manager):
1. Create a secure tunnel between your workstation to the MergePoint 5224/5240 appliance. See
Tasks for creating secure tunnels and obtaining native IP access on page 8 for overview and
Creating VPN connections for Native IP access on page 49 for how to create a VPN tunnel.
2. If the VPN connection is made using IPSec, enter the IP address that is assigned to the public
interface into a browser to bring up the Web Manager.
