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 DNS name, IPv4 and IPv6 network conguration settings of all the installed servers.
2 Modify the iDRAC network settings as required for the server(s).
NOTE: You must select the Enable LAN option to specify the IPv4 or IPv6 settings. For information about the elds, see the
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 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 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 Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
Conguring iDRAC Virtual LAN Tag Settings
Virtual LAN (VLAN) tags enable multiple VLANs to coexist 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 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.
