Duplex, the NIC communicates in one direction at a time,

indicating that the NIC can only receive or transmit

the NIC communicates in both directions simultaneously. Press

the Auto Negotiate setting is enabled.

DHCP

The available settings are Disabled and Enabled. Press <u> to

toggle the setting. The default setting is Disabled, which

indicates that the DRAC 4 is using preset static IP addresses.

When this option is selected, the DHCP server provides the

DNS server IP addresses.

If Use DHCP (described earlier in this table) is set to Disabled,

this option is grayed out and you cannot modify this field.

modify this field.

that the DRAC 4 uses if Servers from DHCP is disabled. The

default is 192.168.0.6. Press <2> to change this address. If you

do not have a second DNS server, you may enter 0.0.0.0 for the

IP address. If Servers from DHCP is Enabled, this option is

grayed out and you cannot modify this field.

The available settings are Disabled and Enabled. Press <c> to

toggle the setting. The default setting is Disabled. The default

RAC name is RAC-service tag, where service tag is the service tag

number of the Dell server (for example, RAC-EK00002). When

this option is selected, the RAC name is displayed. You can

modify the RAC name only when toggling from the Disabled

setting. If this option is set to Enabled, you can modify the RAC

name by pressing <c> twice.
