HP Lights-Out 100 Remote Management - Manual (Page 46)

To modify the network settings, from the browser main menu navigation bar, click Network
Settings, enter the new settings, and then click Apply.
The Network Settings page now lists the following information:
• MAC Address—Displays the MAC address.
• IP Address—Displays the current BMC IP address and enables you to set it to Static.
• Subnet Mask—Displays the LO100 IP network subnet mask. If you are using DHCP, the
subnet mask is automatically supplied. If not, enter the network subnet mask.
• Gateway—Displays the IP address of the network gateway. If you are using DHCP, the
network gateway IP address is automatically supplied. If not, enter the network gateway
address.
For the static IP to work, all network settings must be correct.
• DHCP—Enables you to set the BMC IP to DHCP by selecting the Enabled box, or to Static
by clearing the Enabled box. For the changes to take effect, click Apply.
When setting the BMC IP to Static, to set a valid static IP, you must enter a static IP into the
IP Address field before you click Apply.
• DNS Server IP Address—Displays IP address of the DNS server.
• DNS Server Alternate IP Address—Displays secondary DNS IP address.
• DNS Host Name—Displays the host name set by user, defaulted to lo100<serial number>.
This name is the DNS name associated with the IP address. If DHCP and DNS are configured
correctly, this name can be used to connect to the LO100 subsystem instead of the IP address.
• DNS Current Domain Name—Displays the current name of the domain where the LO100
subsystem resides. DHCP assigns this name. This name would be what is currently registered,
whether it was returned through option 6, or it was configured locally as a default.
• DNS Configured Domain Name—Displays the domain name set by user as default domain
name.
• Register this Connection's Addresses in DNS—Enables you to register these server addresses
to the DNS Server on the network. DHCP option 81 is used to register the host name with
the appropriate DNS suffix to the DNS server through the DHCP server.
• Use this connection's DNS suffix in the DNS Registration¾Enables you to register the DNS
suffix with the DNS server. Enables you to set and use a default domain name if the DHCP
server does not offer one through DHCP Option 6.
Disabling this option can result in the connection using its primary DNS suffix, which is
usually the DNS name of the active directory domain to which it is joined.
• Telnet Inactivity Timeout—Enables you to set the total time limit allowed of inactivity (in
seconds) during a telnet connection before the connection is terminated.
To disable Telnet Inactivity timeout, set the field to 0.
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, from the Windows Features On/Off
option of the Programs and Features menu in the Control Panel, you must activate Telnet
Server and Telnet CIient.
LO100 enables you to register this connection address in DNS, and use this connection DNS
registration. You can use this DNS registration feature only if you have enabled DHCP.
