20 iDRAC6 Enterprise Overview
NOTE: It is recommended that you isolate or separate the chassis management
network, used by iDRAC6 and CMC, from your production network(s). Mixing
management and production or application network traffic may cause congestion
or network saturation resulting in CMC and iDRAC6 communication delays. The
delays may cause unpredictable chassis behavior such as CMC displaying that
iDRAC6 is offline even though it is operating properly. This may also cause other
unpredictable behavior.
iDRAC6 network interface is disabled by default. It must be configured
before iDRAC6 is accessible. After iDRAC6 is enabled and configured on the
network, it can be accessed through its assigned IP address with iDRAC6
Web interface, Telnet or SSH, and supported network management
protocols, such as Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).
