Configure a static IP to your PC/Laptop and connect the PC/Laptop directly to the iLO port of the server.
Run the DHCP server and configure the IP pool as 2, starting with the IP given to your PC/Laptop. It gives us only one IP's to tryout avoiding time waste.
Below images shows the configuration of the above software
Configure static IP to PC/Laptop
Run the software tool as Administrator and select the ethernet port which the cable is connected to the iLO port of the server
Configure the DHCP pool with two IPs
