NOTE: To change any of the settings on the Network Configuration page, you must have Configure DRAC 4 permission.
NOTE: Assigning a predefined IP address to the DRAC 4 using a DHCP server: most DHCP servers require a client identifier token to be stored in the
server's reservations table. The client (DRAC 4, for example) has to provide that token during the DHCP negotiation phase. In the case of RACs, the
DRAC 4 supplies the client identifier option as follows: a one-byte interface number (0) followed by a six-byte MAC address.
