If you are able to connect to ILO2 management using the dedicated ILO2 port then you don't need to read any further.

If it is NIC1 which runs on 100 Mbit/s, you could check, if for any reason ILO2 is configured for network port sharing.

To check this, you have to reboot the server:

- When prompted during POST, press the F8 key to enter iLO 2 RBSU.

- Select Network > NIC > TCP/IP, and press the Enter key.

- "Network Interface Adapter" should be set to "ON" (NOT "Shared Network Port")

Actually this should not have anything to do with the speed, however who knows!?

(see "HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide" for details)
