Use DHCP to
obtain DNS server
addresses
Select the DHCP Enable option to obtain DNS server addresses
by selecting the Use DHCP to obtain DNS server addresses
checkbox. When not using DHCP to obtain the DNS server
addresses, provide the IP addresses in the Preferred DNS Server
and Alternate DNS Server fields.
Preferred DNS
Server
Allows you to enter or edit a static IP address for the preferred
DNS server. To change this setting, first deselect the Use DHCP
to obtain DNS server addresses option.
Alternate DNS
Server
Uses the secondary DNS server IP address when Use DHCP to
obtain DNS server addresses is not selected. Enter an IP address
of 0.0.0.0 if there is no alternate DNS server.
IPv6 Settings
Enabled If the checkbox is Checked, IPv6 is enabled. If the checkbox is
Unchecked, IPv6 is disabled. The default is Unchecked.
Autoconfiguration
Enable
Selecting this option allows iDRAC6 to obtain the IPv6 address
for iDRAC6 NIC from the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCPv6) server. Enabling Autoconfiguration Enable
also deactivates and flushes out the static values for
IPv6 Address, Prefix Length, and Gateway.
IPv6 Address Configures the IPv6 address for iDRAC6 NIC. To change this
setting, you must first disable Autoconfiguration Enable by
deselecting the associated checkbox.
NOTE: Only two IPv6 addresses (Link Local address and the global
address) are displayed if your network setup has IPv6 DHCP
configured and all sixteen IPv6 addresses are displayed if you have
configured your network router to send Router Advertisement
messages.
NOTE: iDRAC6 does not allow you to save the settings if you enter
an IPv6 Address consisting of more than eight groups.
Prefix Length Configures the prefix length of the IPv6 address. It can be a
value between 1 and 128 inclusive. To change this setting,
you must first disable Autoconfiguration Enable by deselecting
the associated checkbox.
