Modifying iDRAC Network Settings for individual server iDRAC

Using this feature, you can congure the iDRAC network congurations settings for each installed server. The initial values displayed

for each of the elds 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 conguration settings of all the installed servers.

2. Modify the iDRAC network settings as required for the servers.

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

see the

CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s 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 reects future network conguration settings; the values shown for installed servers may

or may not be the same as the currently installed iDRAC network conguration settings. Click Refresh to update the iDRAC

Deploy page with each installed iDRAC network conguration settings after changes are made.

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 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 conguration groups:

• cfgLanNetworking

• cfgIPv6LanNetworking

• cfgRacTuning

• cfgRemoteHosts

• cfgSerial

• cfgSessionManagement

For more information about the property default values and ranges, see the Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC)

Conguring 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 trac

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.

NOTE: The iDRAC VLAN settings from CMC are eective only when iDRAC NIC selection is set on the iDRAC for

Chassis (dedicated) LOM mode.

NOTE: The VLAN ID congured using CMC is applied to iDRAC only when iDRAC is in dedicated mode. If iDRAC is in

shared LOM mode, the VLAN ID changes made in iDRAC are not displayed on the CMC GUI.

Conguring iDRAC VLAN tag settings using web interface

To congure VLAN for server:

1. Go to any of the following pages:

• In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Network → VLAN.
