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.
1 Access the DRAC 5 Web-based interface. See the Dell Remote Access
Controller 5 User’s Guide
for more information.
2 Click Remote Access in the System tree.
3 Click the Configuration tab and then click Network .
