## Assign a Static IP Address to the SP

If the network your server is connected to does not support DHCP for IP addressing, perform the following procedure to update the OS configuration to static IP addressing and to assign a static IP address to the SP.

1. Set the SP to accept a Static IP Address.

       -> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static
       Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'

2. Set the IP address for the SP.

       -> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr
       Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr'

3. Set the IP address for the SP gateway.

       -> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr
       Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'

4. Set the netmask for the SP.

       -> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
       Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'

   This example uses `255.255.255.0` to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.

5. Use the `show /SP/network` command to verify that the parameters were set correctly.

       -> show /SP/network
         /SP/network
            Targets:
                interconnect
                ipv6
                test

            Properties:
                commitpending = (Cannot show property)
                dhcp_server_ip = none
                ipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                ipdiscovery = static
                ipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                ipnetmask = 255.255.252.0
                macaddress = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
                pendingipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                pendingipdiscovery = static
                pendingipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
                sidebandmacaddress = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
                state = enabled
            Commands:
                cd
                set
                show
       ->

6. Commit the changes to the SP network parameters.

       -> set /SP/network commitpending=true
       Set 'commitpending' to 'true'

   Note - You can run the `show /SP/network` command again (after performing the `set /SP/network commitpending=true` command)`` to verify that the parameters have been updated.
