Enclosure Bay IP Addressing
The EBIPA screens allow you to configure IPv4 and IPv6 fixed addresses for Onboard Administrator
enclosure bays. The Onboard Administrator EBIPA feature helps you provision a fixed IP address based on
bay number, which preserves the IP address for a particular bay even if a module is hot replaced. The
management interface for components plugged into the bays must be set for DHCP. EBIPA can only be used
if the devices are set to boot from DHCP. If a device is configured for static IP, then it must be manually
reconfigured to DHCP to change the EBIPA IP address.
NOTE: The Onboard Administrator documentation refers to EBIPA IP addresses as "fixed IP
addresses" or "fixed DHCP addresses," meaning that each of these addresses is an IP address
permanently associated with a specific bay number independent of the actual device currently
attached to the bay.
If the server blade iLO is configured for an EBIPA fixed IP address, it carries that address when the blade is
moved to another enclosure.
If the server blades are set for DHCP and Onboard Administrator is configured for EBIPA addressing for that
bay, iLO will obtain an EBIPA configured IP address when it is plugged into that enclosure.
The server blade iLO defaults to DHCP IP addressing, obtained through the network connector of the active
Onboard Administrator. Interconnect modules that have an internal management network connection to the
Onboard Administrator might also default to DHCP addressing.
The Onboard Administrator GUI lists the IP address for the server blade iLO bay and interconnect module
management bay.
The server blade iLO bays and interconnect module management bays can obtain IP addresses on the
management network in three ways: dynamic IP addressing using an external DHCP server, static IP
addressing, or EBIPA. If your network has a DHCP service or if you want to manually assign static IP
