To display FlexAddress status for a particular slot:

racadm getflexaddr [-i <slot#>]

<slot#> = 1 to 16

details on FlexAddress configuration. For additional information on the

Reference Guide for iDRAC6 and CMC.

Configuring FlexAddress Using the GUI

Wake-On-LAN with FlexAddress

When the FlexAddress feature is deployed for the first time on a given server

module, it requires a power-down and power-up sequence for FlexAddress to

take effect. FlexAddress on Ethernet devices is programmed by the server

module BIOS. For the server module BIOS to program the address, it needs

to be operational which requires the server module to be powered up.

When the power-down and power-up sequences complete, the

chassis-assigned MAC IDs are available for Wake-On-LAN (WOL) function.
