Using TCP/IP over Ethernet management port
You can configure LO 100 LAN port access using two different Ethernet ports: the dedicated 10/100 LO
100 management port or through a side-band connection using the server NIC. The Share NIC option
utilizes one server Ethernet port for both server network traffic and LO 100 network traffic reducing the
number of network cables that you must attach to the server.
Selecting an Ethernet management port
To configure a shared Ethernet management port:
1.
Power on the server by pressing the Power On/Off button on the front panel.

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.

The dedicated TCP/IP over Ethernet management port, whether dedicated or shared, is a standard
Ethernet 10/100Mb interface that is connected to the network using a standard Ethernet cable. Before
using the dedicated management port, you must determine the DHCP IP address, set a static IP address,
or use the default static IP address.
Obtaining a DHCP IP address from the BIOS Setup Utility
By default, LO 100 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,
