IPv6 Settings tab
This screen displays the current enclosure TCP/IP settings (IPv6 settings) for the Active Onboard Administrator and enables you to change the following settings:
- Enclosure IP Mode—The Enclosure IP Mode ensures all management applications point to the Active Onboard Administrator of the enclosure, using a single static IP address. This mode is for enclosures with an Active and Standby Onboard Administrator. When the Standby Onboard Administrator takes over the role of the Active Onboard Administrator, that Onboard Administrator is assigned the IP address of the previous Active Onboard Administrator. This ensures the Enclosure IP Mode IP address is consistently pointing to the Active Onboard Administrator.
The transition times from Standby to Active and Active to Standby varies, depending on the configuration, enclosure population, and various other factors. The transition of the Standby to the Active is normally 30 seconds. The transition of the previous Active to Standby is normally 90 seconds.
Replace the Standby Onboard Administrator only while the enclosure is powered on to ensure that the Enclosure IP Mode settings are not changed.
- Enable IPv6—Enables IPv6 protocol for all Onboard Administrator, interconnect, and server iLO modules in the enclosure.
