Setting Description
iDRAC IPv6 Prefix Length Specifies the prefix 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.
3. Click Save QuickDeploy Settings to save the settings. If you have made changes to 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. If Set iDRAC Root Password
on Server Insertion and QuickDeploy Enabled are enabled, the user is prompted using the LCD interface to allow or not allow
the password change. If there are network configuration settings that differ from the current iDRAC settings, the user is
prompted to either accept or not accept the changes.
NOTE: When there is a LAN or IPMI over LAN difference, the user is prompted to accept the QuickDeploy IP
address setting. If the difference is the DHCP setting, the user is prompted to accept the DHCP QuickDeploy
setting.
To copy the QuickDeploy settings into the iDRAC Network Settings section, click Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy
Settings. The QuickDeploy network configurations settings are copied into the corresponding fields in the iDRAC Network
Configuration Settings table.
NOTE: Changes made to QuickDeploy fields are immediate, but changes made to one or more iDRAC server
network configuration settings may require a couple of minutes to propagate from CMC to iDRAC. Clicking Refresh
too soon may display only partially correct data for one or more iDRAC servers.
