system service-processor network auto-configuration disable

Disable Service Processor Auto-Configuration

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description​

The system service-processor network auto-configuration disable command disables the SP's use of subnet resource for the automatic configuration of its networking port. This command is a cluster-wide configuration. When you disable the SP automatic network configuration, all SPs in the cluster will be configured to use IPv4 DHCP. Any addresses previously allocated from the subnet to the SP will be released. If the SP fails to obtain an IPv4 IP address from the DHCP server, an EMS message warns you about the failure. The IPv6 interface will be disabled.

Parameters​

-address-family {IPv4|IPv6} - Subnet Address Family
This parameter specifies whether the IPv4 or the IPv6 automatic configuration is to be disabled for the SP.

Examples​

The following example disables the automatic configuration for IPv4 on the SP. It first displays the current network configuration and then disables the SP IPv4 automatic network configuration.
