iLO 2 diagnostic port configuration parameters

The iLO 2 Diagnostic Port on the front of ProLiant BL p-Class servers enables you to access and
troubleshoot server issues by using a diagnostic cable. The iLO 2 Diagnostic Port uses a static IP
address. It does not use DHCP to obtain an IP address, register with WINS or dynamic DNS, or
use a gateway. The diagnostic port cable must not be left plugged in without an active network
connection because it will cause degraded network performance on the standard iLO 2 network
port.

In Network Settings, you can configure specific diagnostic port information. For more information
on using the diagnostic port and the diagnostic cable, see to the setup and installation guide for
the blade server.

The following are the fields that can be configured for the Diagnostic Port:

Enable NIC

If Enable NIC is set to Yes, the diagnostic port is enabled.

Transceiver Speed Autoselect
