Connection Features
CAUTION: Connecting the STK/Gb2 port to the management network will
have unpredictable results if the CMC setting is not changed from default
Stacking to Redundant, to implement NIC failover. In the default Stacking
mode, cabling the Gb1 and STK/Gb2 ports to the same network (broadcast
domain) can cause a broadcast storm. A broadcast storm can also occur if
the CMC setting is changed to Redundant mode, but the cabling is daisy
chained between chassis in the Stacking mode. Ensure that the cabling model
matches the CMC setting for the intended usage.
• DHCP support.
• SNMP traps and e-mail event notication.
• Network interface for the iDRAC and I/O Modules (IOMs).
• Support for Telnet/SSH command console and RACADM CLI commands including system
boot, reset, power-on, and shutdown commands.
Serial port
• Support for serial console and RACADM CLI commands including system boot, reset,
power-on, and shutdown commands.
• Support for binary interchange for applications specically designed to communicate with a
binary protocol to a particular type of IOM.
• Serial port can be connected internally to the serial console of a server, or I/O module, using
the connect (or racadm connect) command.
