What is ILO port

What is ILO port? what you can do from ILO?

The ILO is the integrated lights out component on the server. This is a card which is integrated to the board which allows you to connect to the server remotely and even if Windows or Linux doesn’t work. It has it’s own network connection, and through it you can view the IML (integrated management logs), you can view what’s on the screen and use it just like terminal services, reboot or power cycle the server.

you will see the four tabs with the different options, server status, remote console, administration etc, all controlling different parts of the ILO function, by that I mean, you click server status to see information like if the server is powered on, what the serial number is, who’s logged in; remote console is the terminal services (remote desktop like) screen where you can access the server just like you’re standing in front of it; administration is where you can add new users, change the IP addresses etc
