Similarly, you can view the host OS network interface information associated with a network device from the Hardware > Network
Devices page. Click View Host OS Network Interfaces.
NOTE: For the ESXi host OS in the iDRAC Service Module v2.3.0 or later, the Description column in the Additional
Details list is displayed in the following format:
<List-of-Uplinks-Configured-on-the-vSwitch>/<Port-Group>/<Interface-name>
Viewing network interfaces available on host OS
using RACADM
Use the gethostnetworkinterfaces command to view the network interfaces available on the host operating systems using
RACADM. For more information, see the iDRAC RACADM CLI Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
Viewing FlexAddress mezzanine card fabric
connections
In blade servers, FlexAddress allows the use of persistent, chassis-assigned World Wide Names and MAC addresses (WWN/MAC) for
each managed server port connection.
You can view the following information for each installed embedded Ethernet and optional mezzanine card port:
• Fabrics to which the cards are connected.
• Type of fabric.
• Server-assigned, chassis-assigned, or remotely assigned MAC addresses.
To view the Flex Address information in iDRAC, configure and enable the Flex Address feature in Chassis Management Controller (CMC).
For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller User's Guide available at www.dell.com/cmcmanuals. Any existing Virtual
Console or Virtual Media session terminates if the FlexAddress setting is enabled or disabled.
NOTE:
To avoid errors that may lead to an inability to turn on the managed system, you must have the correct type of
mezzanine card installed for each port and fabric connection.
The FlexAddress feature replaces the server–assigned MAC addresses with chassis–assigned MAC addresses and is implemented for
iDRAC along with blade LOMs, mezzanine cards and I/O modules. The iDRAC FlexAddress feature supports preservation of slot specific
MAC address for iDRACs in a chassis. The chassis–assigned MAC address is stored in CMC non–volatile memory and is sent to iDRAC
during an iDRAC boot or when CMC FlexAddress is enabled.
If CMC enables chassis–assigned MAC addresses, iDRAC displays the MAC address on any of the following pages:
• System > Details > iDRAC Details.
• System > Server > WWN/MAC.
• iDRAC Settings > Overview > Current Network Settings.
CAUTION:
With FlexAddress enabled, if you switch from a server–assigned MAC address to a chassis–assigned MAC
address and vice–versa, iDRAC IP address also changes.
Viewing or terminating iDRAC sessions
You can view the number of users currently logged in to iDRAC and terminate the user sessions.
Terminating iDRAC sessions using web interface
The users who do not have administrative privileges must have Configure iDRAC privilege to terminate iDRAC sessions using iDRAC Web
interface.
To view and terminate the iDRAC sessions:
1. In the iDRAC Web interface, go to iDRAC Settings > users > Sessions.
The Sessions page displays the session ID, username, IP address, and session type. For more information about these properties, see
the iDRAC Online Help.
