Using the iDRAC Configuration Utility 227
iDRAC6 LAN
Use <Left Arrow>, <Right Arrow>, and the spacebar to select between On
and Off.
The iDRAC6 LAN is enabled in the default configuration. The LAN must be
enabled to permit the use of iDRAC6 facilities, such as the Web-based
interface, telnet/SSH and RAC serial access to the SM-CLP command line
interface, console redirection, and virtual media.
If you choose to disable the LAN the following warning is displayed:
iDRAC6 Out-of-Band interface will be disabled if the
LAN Channel is OFF.
Press any key to clear the message and continue.
The message informs you that in addition to facilities that you access by
connecting to the iDRAC HTTP, HTTPS, telnet, or SSH ports directly,
out-of-band management network traffic, such as IPMI messages sent to the
iDRAC6 from a management station, are not received when the LAN is
disabled. The local RACADM interface remains available and can be used to
reconfigure the iDRAC6 LAN.
IPMI Over LAN
Press <Left Arrow>, <Right Arrow> and the spacebar to choose between
On and Off. When Off is selected, the iDRAC6 will not accept IPMI
messages arriving over the LAN interface.
If you choose Off, the following warning is displayed:
iDRAC IPMI Over LAN Out-of-Band interface will be
disabled if the LAN Channel is OFF.
Press any key to clear the message and continue. See "iDRAC6 LAN" for an
explanation of the message.
LAN Parameters
Press <Enter> to display the LAN Parameters submenu. When you have
finished configuring the LAN parameters, press <Esc> to return to the
previous menu.
