Description

Configures the static IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and password for the root user on iDRAC

for the specified server.

To use this subcommand, you must have the Server Administrator privilege.

iDRAC allows you to set static IPV4 address irrespective of whether IPV4 is enabled or disabled.

If IPv4 is disabled on iDRAC, the static or dynamic IP address is not applied to iDRAC nor does the

IP address works. If the IPv4 is enabled and the static source is selected, the IP address is applied

to iDRAC.

NOTE: You can also use setniccfg to configure static IP address, subnet mask,

gateway, DHCP, speed, and duplex properties.
