The OAs, interconnects and iLOs all connect to this "hub".<BR />So any setting you make is between the iLO and the hub. As its set to run at the best speed - no need to change it.

Given that only the OA on the c7000 has a physical connection and individual blades don't have physical connections?<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR />Dan Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:46:06 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/understanding-blade-ilo-network-settings/m-p/4537504#M8249 Dan_394 2009-11-20T14:46:06Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/understanding-blade-ilo-network-settings/m-p/4537505#M8250 Because its the same firmware as the firmware in rackmount servers, where this setting is important.<BR />Just ignore it.<BR />As I understand it there is effectivly a network hub in the backplane.
