Input

• -d — Enables DHCP for the NIC. It is enabled by default.

• -d6 — Enables AutoConfig for the NIC (default is disabled).

• -s — Enables static IP settings. The IPv4 address, netmask, and gateway must be

racadm setniccfg -s 192.168.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0

• -s6 — Enables static IPv6 settings. The IPv6 address, Prefix Length, and the IPv6

Gateway can be specified.

• -o — Enable or disable NIC.

• -m<module> — Must be one of the following values:

– chassis — Default state if -m is not specified

– server–<n>: where n=1–16

– server–<nx>: where n=1–8; x=a–d (lower case)

– switch–<n>: where n=1–6

• -v — VLAN settings has following legal values: no arguments imply remove VLAN

tag, not compatible with server–nx (for example "server–4b") notation

<vlan_id>=between 1 and 4000, 4021 and 4094, inclusive

<vlan_priority>=between 0 and 7, inclusive.

• -p — Disables IPv4(default) or IPv6 protocol.
