## Configure SP In-band (Sideband) Access

This procedure describes how to access the SP from an in-band (or sideband) management using a host network port.

If you perform this procedure using a network connection, you might lose connectivity to the server. Using a serial connection for this procedure eliminates the possibility of losing connectivity during sideband management configuration changes.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM.

2. If you logged in using the serial port, you can assign a static IP address.

   For instructions, see the information about assigning an IP address in the installation guide for your server.

3. View the current network settings.

       -> show /SP/network

       /SP/network
          Targets:
              interconnect
              ipv6
              test

          Properties:
              commitpentding = (Cannot show property)
              dhcp_server_ip = none
              ipaddress = 129.148.62.55
              ipdiscovery = static
              ipgateway = 129.148.62.225
              ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
              macaddress = 00:11:3T:8O:44:B7
              managementport= /SYS/MB/SP/NETMGMT
              outofbandmacaddress = 00:11:3T:8O:44:B7
              pendingipaddress = 129.148.62.55
              pendingipdiscovery = static
              pendingipgateway = 129.148.62.225
              pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
              pendingmanagementport = /SYS/MB/SP/NETMGMT
              sidebandmacaddress = 00:11:3T:8O:44:B7
              state = enabled

          Commands:
              cd
              set
              show

4. Set the SP management port to a sideband port. (where n is 0-3).

   For SPARC T4-1B systems, n is 0-1. For all other systems, n is 0-3.

       -> set /SP/network pendingmanagementport=/SYS/MB/NETn

       -> set /SP/network commitpending=true

5. Verify the change.

       -> show /SP/network

       /SP/network
          Targets:
              interconnect
              ipv6
              test

          Properties:
              commitpentding = (Cannot show property)
              dhcp_server_ip = none
              ipaddress = 129.148.62.55
              ipdiscovery = static
              ipgateway = 129.148.62.225
              ipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
              macaddress = 00:11:3T:8O:44:B7
              managementport= /SYS/MB/NET0
              outofbandmacaddress = 00:11:3T:8O:44:B7
              pendingipaddress = 129.148.62.55
              pendingipdiscovery = static
              pendingipgateway = 129.148.62.225
              pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0
              pendingmanagementport = /SYS/MB/NET0
              sidebandmacaddress = 00:11:3T:80:44:B7
              state = enabled

          Commands:
              cd
              set
              show
