Setting Description

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.

Enable iDRAC DNS Name Select Enable iDRAC DNS Name to apply the iDRAC DNS name to the blade servers

inserted in the chassis. You can provide the iDRAC DNS prex, which the CMC appends

with the slot name. For example, if the iDRAC DNS prex is, "DNSNAME", then the iDRAC

DNS Name is appended with the slot name, "DNSNAME-SlotN".

By default, the Enable iDRAC DNS Name is disabled.

iDRAC DNS Name (Prex) You can congure the iDRAC DNS name prex only if Enable iDRAC DNS Name is

selected. The DNS name prex can contain a maximum of 59 and a minimum of one

character. The supported characters are:

• Alphanumeric—"a-b" or "A-B"

• Numeric—"0-9"

• Hyphen—"–"

Ensure that the DNS name prex does not begin with a hyphen. The default prex is

"idrac". Only the prex of the iDRAC DNS name is stored in the server prole.

3 Click Save QuickDeploy Settings to save the settings. If you have changed 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 that are made to QuickDeploy elds are immediate, but changes that are 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.

QuickDeploy IP address assignments for servers

The following tables show the way that the QuickDeploy IP addresses assigned to the servers based on the sleds present in the FX2/FX2s
