Modifying iDRAC Network Settings for Individual Server iDRAC
Using this table you can configure the iDRAC network configurations settings for each installed server. The initial values displayed
for each of the fields are the current values read from the iDRAC.
To modify the iDRAC Network Settings using the CMC Web interface:
1. In the system tree, go to Server Overview, and then click Setup → iDRAC. The Deploy iDRAC page is displayed. The iDRAC
Network Settings section lists all installed server’s iDRAC IPv4 and IPv6 network configuration settings.
2. Modify the iDRAC network settings as required for the servers.
NOTE: You must select the Enable LAN option to specify the IPv4 or IPv6 settings. For information about the fields,
see CMC Online Help.
3. To deploy the setting to iDRAC, click Apply iDRAC Network Settings. If you made changes to the QuickDeploy settings, they
are also saved.
The iDRAC Network Settings table reflects future network configuration settings; the values shown for installed servers may
or may not be the same as the currently installed iDRAC network configuration settings. Click Refresh to update the iDRAC
Deploy page with each installed iDRAC network configuration settings after changes are made.
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 a one or more iDRAC servers.

Configuring iDRAC VLAN Tag Settings
VLANs are used to allow multiple virtual LANs to co-exist on the same physical network cable and to segregate the network traffic
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.
