112 Remote Access Controller
Configuring the DRAC Network Properties
NOTE: You must have Administrator privileges in Server Administrator to use the
Remote Access Controller.
Your DRAC contains an integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-T Ethernet NIC and
supports TCP/IP. The NIC has a default address of 192.168.20.1 and a default
gateway of 192.168.20.1.
NOTE: If your DRAC is configured to the same IP address as another NIC on the
same network, an IP address conflict occurs. The DRAC stops responding to
network commands until the IP address is changed on the DRAC. The DRAC must
be reset even if the IP address conflict is resolved by changing the IP address of the
other NIC.
NOTE: Changing the IP address of the DRAC causes the DRAC to reset. If SNMP
polls the DRAC before it initializes, a temperature warning is logged because the
correct temperature is not transmitted until the DRAC is initialized.
To configure the network properties of your DRAC, perform the following steps:
1
Click Modular Enclosure → System/Server Module → Main System
Chassis/Main System
