Setting Description
Enable iDRAC IPMI over LAN Enables or disables the IPMI over LAN channel for each iDRAC present in the chassis.
By default, this option is selected.
Enable iDRAC IPv4 DHCP Enables or disables DHCP for each iDRAC present in the chassis. If this option is
enabled, the elds QuickDeploy IP, QuickDeploy Subnet Mask, and QuickDeploy
Gateway are disabled, and cannot be modied since DHCP is used to automatically
assign these settings for each iDRAC. To select this option, you must select the
Enable iDRAC IPv4 option. Quick Deploy IP address option is provided with two
values 4 and 2.
Reserved QuickDeploy IP Address Select the number of static IPv4 addresses reserved for iDRACs in the chassis. The
IPv4 addresses starting from Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) are considered
as reserved and assumed to be unused elsewhere in the same network. Quick Deploy
feature does not work for servers that are inserted into slots for which there is no
reserved static IPv4 address.
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) Species the static IP address of iDRAC in the server, in slot 1 of the enclosure. The
IP address of each subsequent iDRAC is incremented by 1 for each slot from slot 1's
static IP address. In the case where the IP address plus the slot number is greater
than the subnet mask, an error message is displayed.
NOTE: The subnet mask and the gateway are not incremented such as the IP
address.
For example, if the starting IP address is 192.168.0.250 and the subnet mask is
255.255.0.0 then the QuickDeploy IP address for slot 4c is 192.168.0.265. If
the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0, the QuickDeploy IP address range
is not fully within QuickDeploy Subnet error message is displayed
when you click Save QuickDeploy Settings or Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy
Settings.
iDRAC IPv4 Netmask Species the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned to all newly inserted servers.
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway Species the QuickDeploy default gateway that is assigned to all the DRAC present in
the chassis.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present in the chassis that is IPv6 capable.
Enable iDRAC IPv6
Autoconguration
Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address and prex length) from a
DHCPv6 server and also enables stateless address auto conguration. By default, this
option is enabled.
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Species the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the iDRACs. The default value is
"::".
iDRAC IPv6 Prex Length Species the prex length to be assigned for the IPv6 addresses on the iDRAC. The
default value is 64.
Use CMC DNS Settings Enables the CMC DNS Server settings ( IPv4 and IPv6) that are propagated to
iDRAC when a blade server is inserted in the chassis.
3. Click Save QuickDeploy Settings to save the settings. If you have made changes to the iDRAC network setting, click Apply
iDRAC Network Settings
to deploy the settings to the iDRAC.
The QuickDeploy feature only executes when it is enabled, and a server is inserted in the chassis.
To copy the QuickDeploy settings into the iDRAC Network Settings section, click Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings.
The QuickDeploy network congurations settings are copied into the corresponding elds in the iDRAC Network Conguration
Settings table.
NOTE: Changes made to QuickDeploy elds are immediate, but changes made to one or more iDRAC server network
conguration settings may require a couple of minutes to propagate from CMC to iDRAC. Clicking Refresh early may
display only partially correct data for one or more iDRAC servers.
