Working with Remote Access Controller 91
4
Configure the following NIC configuration details:
• Enable NIC (This option is available on Dell PowerEdge
x9xx
systems
and when DRAC is installed. Select this option for NIC teaming.
In
Dell PowerEdge
x9xx systems, you can team NICs for added
redundancy.)
NOTE: 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.
• NIC Selection
NOTE: NIC Selection cannot be configured on modular systems.
• Enable IPMI Over LAN
• IP Address Source
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway Address
• Channel Privilege Level Limit
• New Encryption Key (This option is available on Dell PowerEdge
