Setting Description
NOTE: The subnet mask and the gateway are not incremented like the IP
address.
For example, if the starting IP address is 192.168.0.250 and the subnet mask is
255.255.0.0 then the QuickDeploy IP address for slot 15 is 192.168.0.265. When
you try to set the elds starting IP address, reserved IP addresses, and subnet mask
values such that the combination may generate an IP address outside the subnet, the
QuickDeploy IP address range is not fully within QuickDeploy
Subnet error message is displayed when you click the Save QuickDeploy Settings or
Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings. For example, if the starting IP is
192.168.1.245, reserved IP addresses is 16 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0,
the IP addresses generated for slots beyond 11 are all outside the subnet. Hence, trying to
set this combination for QuickDeploy settings generates an error message.
iDRAC IPv4 Netmask Species the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned to all newly inserted servers.
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway Species the QuickDeploy default gateway that is assigned to all iDRAC present in the
chassis.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present in the chassis that is IPv6 capable.
Enable iDRAC IPv6
Autoconguration
Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address and prex length) from a DHCPv6
server and also enables stateless address auto conguration. By default, this option is
enabled.
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Species the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the iDRACs. The default value is "::".
iDRAC IPv6 Prex Length Species the prex 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 conguration settings that dier 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 dierence, the user is prompted to accept the QuickDeploy IP
address setting. If the dierence 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 congurations settings are copied into the corresponding elds in the iDRAC Network Conguration
Settings table.
NOTE: Changes made to QuickDeploy elds are immediate, but changes made to one or more iDRAC server network
conguration 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.
