Using Dell Remote Access Controller 5
The Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) 5 provides a Web-based interface and RACADM (a
command-line interface) that enables you to configure the DRAC 5 properties and users, perform
remote management tasks, and troubleshoot a remote (managed) system for problems.
Configuring the Network and IPMI LAN Settings
NOTE: You must have Configure DRAC 5 permission to do the following steps.
NOTE: Most DHCP servers require a server to store a client identifier token in its reservations table. The client
(DRAC 5, for example) must provide this token during DHCP negotiation. For RACs, the DRAC 5 supplies the client
identifier option using a one-byte interface number (0) followed by a six-byte MAC address.
NOTE: If your managed system DRAC is configured in Shared or Shared with Failover mode and the DRAC is
connected to a switch with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enabled, network clients will experience a 20 to 30
second delay in connectivity when the management station’s LOM link state changes during the STP convergence.
