iLO Shared Management Port Features and Restrictions
Only the iLO Shared Network Port or the iLO Dedicated Management NIC port
can be used for iLO server management at one time. The iLO Shared Network
Port and the iLO Dedicated Management NIC port cannot operate
simultaneously. Enabling the dedicated iLO NIC disables the iLO Shared
Network Port, and enabling the iLO Shared Network Port disables the dedicated
iLO NIC.
Disabling the Shared Network Port does not completely disable the system NIC.
Regular network traffic still passes through the system NIC. When the Shared
Network Port network traffic is disabled any traffic going to or originating from
iLO is not passed on to iLO through the shared Network Port because the port is
no longer shared with iLO.
The speed of the Shared Network Port is relatively low compared to the
dedicated iLO Management Port. Only a limited number of iLO features are
supported through the Shared Network Port. These include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Command line interface
XML scripting
Virtual Serial Port
Text based Remote Console
SNMP protocol
Due to the relatively low performance of the Shared Network Port, certain
operations performed over the Virtual Serial Port connection may perform at less
than optimum levels. In particular, display or text editing operations involving
the display of large amounts of data may result in some dropped characters. The
loss of characters affects the display only, and does not affect the data stored on
the server.
The iLO Web interface is not supported through the Shared Network Port,
including:
Graphical Remote Console
Virtual Media
