Configuring The Remote Access Device To Use A

LAN Connection

To configure the remote access device for communication over a LAN connection:

1. Click the Modular Enclosure > System/Server Module > Main System Chassis/Main System > Remote Access object.

2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. Click LAN.

The LAN Configuration window appears.

NOTE: BMC/iDRAC management traffic does not function properly if the LAN on motherboard (LOM) is teamed with

any network adapter add-in-cards.

4. Configure the following NIC configuration details:

• Enable NIC (Select this option for NIC teaming.)

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

NOTE: The NIC Selection option is available only on 11G and earlier systems.

• Primary and Failover Network options

For 12G systems, the Primary Network options for Remote Management (iDRAC7) NIC are: LOM1, LOM2, LOM3, LOM4, and

Dedicated. The Failover Network options are: LOM1, LOM2, LOM3, LOM4, All LOMs, and None.

NOTE:

The Dedicated option is available when the iDRAC7 Enterprise License is present and valid.The number of

LOMs varies based on the system or hardware configuration.
