48 Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
Viewing FlexAddress Mezzanine Card Fabric
Connections
The M1000e includes FlexAddress, an advanced multilevel, multistandard
networking system. FlexAddress allows the use of persistent, chassis-assigned
World Wide Names and MAC addresses (WWN/MAC) for each managed
server port connection.
NOTE: In order to avoid errors that may lead to an inability to power on the
managed server, you must have the correct type of mezzanine card installed for
each port and fabric connection.
Configuration of the FlexAddress feature is performed using the CMC Web
interface. For more information on the FlexAddress feature and its configuration,
see your Dell Chassis Management Controller Firmware Version 2.0 User Guide.
After the FlexAddress feature has been enabled and configured for the chassis,
click System→ Properties→ WWN/MAC to view a list of installed mezzanine
cards, the fabrics and ports to which they are connected, the fabric port location,
type of fabric, and server-configured or chassis-assigned MAC addresses for each
installed embedded Ethernet and optional mezzanine card port.
To view a list of installed mezzanine cards, the type of mezzanine cards
installed, and if FlexAddress is configured, click System→ Properties→
