Users Guide

• To configure IPv6, ensure that it is already configured by a vCenter server.
• In an IPv6 environment, when a Router Advertisement is configured for stateless configuration of multiple
IPv6 IPs on a port, iDRAC supports a maximum of 16 IPs addresses. In such a case, OpenManage Enterprise
displays only the last discovered IP and uses that IP as the out-of-band interface to iDRAC.
• By default, the last discovered IP of a device is used by OpenManage Enterprise for performing all operations.
To make any IP change effective, you must rediscover the device.
