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.
NOTE: The VLAN ID configured using CMC is applied to iDRAC only when iDRAC is in dedicated mode. If iDRAC is in
shared LOM mode, the VLAN ID changes made in iDRAC are not displayed on the CMC GUI.
Configuring iDRAC VLAN Tag Settings Using Web
Interface
To configure VLAN for server using the CMC Web interface:
1. Go to any of the following pages:
• In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview and click Network > VLAN.
• In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview > Server Overview and click Network > VLAN. The VLAN Tag Settings page is
displayed.
2. In the iDRAC section, enable VLAN for the servers, set the priority and enter the ID. For more information about the fields, see the
CMC Online Help.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
Configuring iDRAC VLAN Tag Settings Using RACADM
• Specify the VLAN ID and priority of a particular server with the following command:
racadm setniccfg -m server-<n> -v <VLAN id> <VLAN priority>
The valid values for <n> are 1 – 16.
The valid values for <VLAN> are 1 – 4000 and 4021 – 4094. Default is 1.
The valid values for <VLAN priority> are 0 – 7. Default is 0.
For example:
racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -v 1 7
For example:
• To remove a server VLAN, disable the VLAN capabilities of the specified server's network:
racadm setniccfg -m server-<n> -v
The valid values for <n> are 1-16.
