Enabling or Disabling DHCP for the CMC Network Interface
Address
When enabled, the CMC’s DHCP for NIC address feature requests and obtains an IP address from the Dynamic Host Conguration
Protocol (DHCP) server automatically. This feature is enabled by default.
You can disable the DHCP for NIC address feature and specify a static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. For more information, see
Setting Up Initial Access to CMC.
Enabling or Disabling DHCP for DNS IP Addresses
By default, the CMC’s DHCP for DNS address feature is disabled. When enabled, this feature obtains the primary and secondary DNS
server addresses from the DHCP server. While using this feature, you do not have to congure static DNS server IP addresses.
To disable the DHCP for DNS address feature and specify static preferred and alternate DNS server addresses, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgDNSServersFromDHCP 0
To disable the DHCP for DNS address feature for IPv6 and specify static preferred and alternate DNS server addresses, type:
racadm config -g cfgIPv6LanNetworking -o
cfgIPv6DNSServersFromDHCP6 0
Setting Static DNS IP addresses
NOTE
: The Static DNS IP addresses settings are not valid unless the DCHP for DNS address feature is disabled.
For IPv4, to set the preferred primary and secondary DNS IP server addresses, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer1 <IP-address>
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer2 <IPv4-address>
For IPv6, to set the preferred and secondary DNS IP Server addresses, type:
racadm config -g cfgIPv6LanNetworking -o
cfgIPv6DNSServer1 <IPv6-address>
racadm config -g cfgIPv6LanNetworking -o
cfgIPv6DNSServer2 <IPv6-address>
Conguring IPv4 and IPv6 DNS Settings
• CMC Registration — To register the CMC on the DNS server, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgDNSRegisterRac 1
NOTE
: Some DNS servers only register names of 31 characters or fewer. Make sure the designated name is within the DNS
required limit.
NOTE: The following settings are valid only if you have registered the CMC on the DNS server by setting cfgDNSRegisterRac
to 1.
• CMC Name — By default, the CMC name on the DNS server is cmc-<service tag>. To change the CMC name on the DNS server,
type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSRacName <name>
