Enables the Network Interface of CMC.

Default: Enabled. If this option is checked:

• CMC communicates with and is accessible over the

computer network.

• The Web interface, CLI (remote RACADM), WSMAN,

Telnet, and SSH associated with CMC are available.

If this option is not checked:

• The CMC Network Interface cannot communicate over

the network.

• Communication to the chassis through CMC is

not available.

• The Web interface, CLI (remote RACADM), WSMAN,

Telnet, and SSH associated with the CMC

are not available.

• The server iDRAC Web interface, local CLI,

I/O modules, and iKVM are still accessible.

• Network addresses for the iDRAC6 and CMC can be

obtained, in this case, from the chassis' LCD.

NOTE: Access to the other network-accessible components

in the chassis is not affected when the network on the

chassis is disabled (or lost).

Default: Unchecked (disabled) by default

NOTE: Some DNS Servers only register names

of 31 characters or fewer. Make sure the designated name

is within the DNS required limit.
