Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 81
Setting the SMTP Server IP Address
You can enable the CMC to send email alerts using Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) to a specified IP address. To enable this feature, type:
racadm config -g cfgRemoteHosts -o
cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr <
SMTP IP address >
where <
SMTP IP address > is the IP address of the network SMTP server.
NOTE: If your network has an SMTP server that releases and renews IP address
leases periodically, and the addresses are different, then there will be a duration
when this property setting will not work due to change in the specified SMTP server
IP address. In such cases, use the DNS name.
Configuring the Network Security Settings
NOTE: To perform the following steps, you must have Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege.
Enabling IP Range Checking
IP filtering compares the IP address of an incoming login to the IP address
range that is specified in the following cfgRacTuning properties:
• cfgRacTuneIpRangeAddr
• cfgRacTuneIpRangeMask
The cfgRacTuneIpRangeMask property is applied to both the incoming IP
address and to the cfgRacTuneIpRangeAddr properties. If the results are
identical, the incoming login request is allowed to access the iDRAC. Logins
from IP addresses outside this range receive an error.
The login proceeds only if either the cfgRacTuneIpRangeMask is zero or the
incoming IP address is identical to the IP address specified by
cfgRacTuneIpRangeAddr.
