iLO 2 Responds to Ping yet cannot connect via http/s

[Megan Bigelow]

All -

I apologize for the delay. Here are the details:

* I am able to ping the iLO interfaces
* I am unable to connect to iLo via any web browser
* I am unable to telnet to port 80 or 443
* I connected directly to the iLO port via a cross over cable and could successfully connect to iLO via web browser.

I am now engaging my network team. I hadn't engaged them previously because I am able to connect to other iLO interfaces on the same subnet and we normally do not block based on specific IPs.

It turns out the iLO network we use for iLO interfaces uses a non-standard subnet mask and gateway. I have reconfigured it and it now works. What threw me is the fact I was getting a ping reply. Oh well.

Can I just assign all of you points for being so helpful?

Hi Megan,

I should have thought of that... Having the wrong subnet mask can cause all sorts of strange things to happen.

> Can I just assign all of you points for being so helpful?

Of course you can... You can (and should) assign points to all replies.

Cheers,

Rob

Megan i have seen many such issues and have often found a good starting point is

as i posted previously

stick a laptop and cable directlty into ilo port , use max version internet explorer 7 preferred 6 what happens\now..

then work your way out,

if you have local access ....

Hello Megan,

I have the same issue and looking ahead to reset gateway and subnet. can you tell me how could you reset them since we could not open the ILO through web browser.

Thanks in Advance,
Rahul

Did you try connecting a laptop or computer with a cross over cable directly to the ILO port? ILO is not Windows dependent. You need to set the IP Address and it should show up on POST. Verify the setup is correct. If you are connecting from outside a firewall, it needs to be allowed traffic.
