• MAC Address — Enables you to view the Media Access Control (MAC)
address that uniquely identifies each node in a network (read-only).
•
NIC Selection — Enables you to view or edit the NIC mode using the
following mode options:
–
Dedicated — This option enables remote access to utilize the
dedicated network interface available on the Dell Remote Access
Controller (DRAC). Because the DRAC interface is not shared with
the host operating system and routes management traffic to a separate
physical network, it can be separated from the application traffic.
NOTE: This option is available only if an iDRAC6 Enterprise controller is
present in the system.
– Shared with failover — Select this option to share the network
interface with the host operating system. The remote access device
network interface is fully functional when the host operating system
is configured for NIC teaming. The remote access device receives data
through the LAN on motherboard LOM 1 and LOM 2, but it
transmits data only through LOM 1. If LOM 1 fails, the remote access
device fails over to LOM 2 for all data transmission. The remote
access device continues to use LOM 2 for data transmission.
If LOM 2 fails, the remote access device fails over all data
transmission back to LOM 1.

Shared with failover - LOM 2 — Select this option to share the
network interface with the host operating system. The remote access
device network interface is fully functional when the host operating
system is configured for NIC teaming. The remote access device
receives data through the LAN on Motherboard LOM 1 and LOM 2,
but transmits data only through LOM 2. If LOM 2 fails, the remote
access device fails over to LOM 1 for all data transmission.
The remote access device continues to use LOM 1 for data
transmission. If LOM 1 fails, the remote access device fails
over all data transmission back to LOM 2. If one LOM fails but is later
restored, you can manually revert back to the original LOM settings by
editing the NIC selection through the
iDRAC Hardware
Configuration
wizard.

Shared with failover - All LOMS — Select this option to share the
network interface with the host operating system. The remote access
device network interface is fully functional when the host operating
