Configuring the Ethernet settings on a Remote Supervisor Adapter II

The Remote Supervisor Adapter II must be configured for it to remotely access the adapter through the adapter Ethernet and serial connectors. You can use the ASU to configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter II Ethernet settings.

For detailed information about using the Remote Supervisor Adapter II web interface for remote access, see the Lenovo Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide.

Note: If you have an accessible, active, and configured Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network, the host name, IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask are set automatically. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program that is part of the server BIOS to select DHCP server settings. For more information, see the Lenovo Remote Supervisor Adapter II Installation Instructions for Microsoft Windows Users or Lenovo Remote Supervisor Adapter II Installation Instructions for Linux Users.

You can also configure the DHCP setting by using the ASU. To use the ASU, continue with the following procedure.

If you have an enabled DHCP server and you want to configure the serial connector, see Configuring a serial connection on Remote Supervisor Adapter.
