HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 - Manual (Page 8)

•
If the switches in your network include the option to enable or disable multicast traffic, ensure
that multicast traffic is enabled. This is required for iLO Federation and other HP products to
discover the iLOs on the network.
•
For iLOs that are separated by Layer 3 switches, configure the switches to forward SSDP
multicast traffic between networks.
•
UDP port 1900 must be configured as a firewall exception to allow iLO Federation multicast
traffic.
Configuring the multicast options
You must configure the multicast options for each iLO system that will be added to an iLO Federation
group.
Use the following procedure to configure multicast options for one iLO system at a time. To use
RIBCL scripts to view and configure multicast options on a batch of iLO systems, see
“SET_FEDERATION_MULTICAST” (page 13) and “GET_FEDERATION_MULTICAST” (page 13) .
1. Navigate to the iLO Federation
→Group Configuration page, as shown in
Figure 1 (page 8) .

2. Configure the following options in the Multicast Options section:
•
iLO Federation Management—Select Enabled or Disabled.
The default setting is Enabled. Selecting Disabled will disable the iLO Federation features
for the local iLO system.
•
Multicast Discovery—Select Enabled or Disabled.
Selecting Disabled will disable the iLO Federation features for the local iLO system.
•
Multicast Announcement Interval (seconds/minutes)—Sets the frequency at which iLO
announces itself on the network. Select a value of 30 seconds to 30 minutes. The default
value is 10 minutes.
Network changes and changes you make on this page will take effect after the next
multicast announcement.
