Accessing the iLO 2 MP With the Web Browser
Web browser access is an embedded feature of the iLO 2 MP.
The iLO 2 MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN
drop, IP address, and networking information from that of the port used by the operating system.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the MAC
address to the server core LAN.
Before starting this procedure, you must have the following information:
• IP address for the iLO 2 MP LAN
• Host name (this is used when messages are logged or printed)
To interact with the iLO 2 MP through the Web GUI, follow these steps:
1. Open a Web browser and enter the host name or the IP address for the iLO 2 MP.
2. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page. (Figure 3-19).
