Enclosure Bay IP Addressing
The First Time Setup Wizard Enclosure Bay IP Addressing 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
addresses one by one to the server blades and interconnect modules, click Skip to bypass configuring
Enclosure Bay IP Addressing.
Difference between the BladeSystem network and the management network used by the Onboard
Administrator
There is an important difference between the network the BladeSystem is connected to and the management
network the Onboard Administrator uses. EBIPA assigns IP fixed DHCP addresses for the iLO processors that
are bridged through the Onboard Administrator. Do not confuse EBIPA with port mapping for the server
blade NICs, network routers, or switches. EBIPA is used for management interfaces only; EBIPA does not
assign IP addresses for any other device on the network and cannot be used as a DHCP server on the data
network.
Configuring fixed IP addresses for server blade and interconnect bays
NOTE: For EBIPA IPv6 fixed addresses to be successfully configured, the Enable IPv6 setting must
be enabled. To enable this setting, use the First Time Setup Wizard Network IPv6 Settings screen
or the Enclosure Settings IPv6 Settings tab.
The Enable SLAAC and Enable DHCPv6 settings have no effect on EBIPA IPv6 functionality.
