You have saved one port on your switch.<BR /><BR />Your Gig Network (1G/1000)needs to be set for Auto as iLO is only 100/10.<BR /><BR />Shared Network port can be DHCP or static.<BR /><BR />Boot to iLO RBSU (F8), and check or set an IP. Make sure nic cable is in Nic1. You should be able to access iLO2.

I know that the iLO home page no longer responds etc. <BR /><BR />IF using the iLO Shared network port must the actual ilo have a DHCP assigned IP or static IP (we do not have DHCP enabled on our server ports) either setting does not seem to work.<BR /><BR />Server Tested DL385 G2 latest firmware<BR />iLO 2 firmware at 1.70<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR />Dan<BR /> Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:51:34 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-remote-server/ilo-shared-network-port-question/m-p/4336724#M4064 Dan Thrun 2009-01-13T13:51:34Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-remote-server/ilo-shared-network-port-question/m-p/4336725#M4065 Shared Network Port is only available on Nic1.<BR /><BR />If shared Network Port is enabled, you do not need to connect a network cable to the iLO dedicated port as it is now disabled. iLO traffic will be shared with nic1.
