• Starting iSM version 3.3, iSM confi‚gures the Host OS USBNIC interface only once. Subsequently, if you bring down the USBNIC interface on the Host OS by deleting the IP address, making the interface link down or disabling the IPV4 or IPV6 address on this interface, then iSM will retain the user con‚guration and does not override the interface settings. To restore the communication between iSM and iDRAC, please restart the iSM service on the Host OS.
