Modifying iDRAC Network Settings for Individual Server iDRAC

Using this feature, you can configure the iDRAC network configurations settings for each installed server. The initial

values displayed for each of the fields are the current values read from the iDRAC. To use this feature, you must have an

Enterprise License.

To modify the iDRAC Network Settings:

1. In the left pane, click Server Overview, and then click Setup . On the Deploy iDRAC page the iDRAC Network

Settings section lists the iDRAC IPv4 and IPv6 network configuration settings of all the installed servers.

2. Modify the iDRAC network settings as required for the server(s).

NOTE: You must select the Enable LAN option to specify the IPv4 or IPv6 settings. For information about the

fields, see the

Online Help

3. To deploy the setting to iDRAC, click Apply iDRAC Network Settings. Any changes made to the QuickDeploy

Settings are also saved.

The iDRAC Network Settings table reflects future network configuration settings; the values shown for installed

servers may or may not be the same as the currently installed iDRAC network configuration settings. Click Refresh

to update the iDRAC Deploy page with each installed iDRAC network configuration settings after changes are

made.

NOTE: Changes made to QuickDeploy fields are immediate, but changes made to one or more iDRAC server

network configuration settings may require a couple of minutes to propagate from CMC to iDRAC. Clicking

Refresh too soon may display only partially correct data for a one or more iDRAC servers.

Modifying iDRAC Network Settings Using RACADM

RACADM config or getconfig commands support the -m <module> option for the following configuration

groups:

For more information about the property default values and ranges, see the

Configuring iDRAC VLAN Tag Settings

VLANs are used to allow multiple virtual LANs to co-exist on the same physical network cable and to segregate the

network traffic for security or load management purposes. When you enable the VLAN functionality, each network

packet is assigned a VLAN tag. VLAN tags are chassis properties. They remain with the chassis even when a

component is removed.

Configuring iDRAC VLAN Tag Settings Using RACADM

• Specify the VLAN ID and priority of a particular server with the following command:

racadm setniccfg -m server-<n> -v <VLAN id> <VLAN priority>
