iDRAC Web Interface Stopped Working

Those commands did not work on Ubuntu 20.04. I tried:

root@crewze:/tmp# racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress 192.168.0.120

ERROR: RAC1281: Unable to run the command because an invalid command is entered.

       The command "racadm config" entered is not supported on iDRAC "4.40.00.00" and later versions.

       Run the "racadm set" command to complete the "configuring iDRAC configuration parameters" operation.

       For information about the "racadm set" command, run the following RACADM command: "racadm help set".

Did not seem to change config.

192.168.0.120 says browser cannot connect to server. curl shows both ports blocked. I do have fail2ban running on the server but verified it is not blocking any of the internal network connects "192.168.0.XX".

Set IP again or set DHCP

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress 172.17.2.2
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicNetmask 255.255.252.0
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicGateway 172.17.1.7

I have just been using the server NIC to access iDRAC. I can ping it fine.

This can be problem:

Link Detected   = No

Check your cables. Looks like nothing connected to the IDRAC port.

Put a cable into the IDRAC NIC and see, that the link state changing.

Yes, Link comes up.

LOM Status:

NIC Selection   = Dedicated

Link Detected   = Yes

Speed           = 1Gb/s

Duplex Mode     = Full Duplex

Active NIC      = Dedicated

the Webbrowser should work now, or maybe connections should reach the IDRAC IP.

No. curl 192.168.0.120 still fails to connect.

https? fails too? or ping? or ssh?

For reasons I do not understand, when I tried the web interface this morning it worked! I made no changes, so I have no idea why. The watchdog timer is also OK. So all is good. 

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Crewze,

Just to confirm, what license do you have for the iDrac, Express or Enterprise?

Let me know.

More info. When I run racadm getniccfg it shows:

IPv4 settings:

NIC Enabled          = 1

IPv4 Enabled         = 1

DHCP Enabled         = 0

IP Address           = 0.0.0.0

Subnet Mask          = 0.0.0.0

Gateway              = 0.0.0.0

However, it also shows:

Static IPv4 settings:

Static IP Address    = 192.168.0.120

Static Subnet Mask   = 255.255.255.0

Static Gateway       = 192.168.0.1

ping 192.168.0.120 works fine. Web page does not.

If it is going through the server NIC, in the iDrac settings can you change the interface from Dedicated to Shared/LOM1 and then see if the interface works?

If you have a cable going to the iDrac port you set to Dedicated, if going through the NIC you set it to Shared/LOM1. 

Note: I am access iDRAC through the regular server NIC. I do not have a cable plugged into the iDRAC NIC port. When I do plug in a cable, the port does come up, but the web page still does not work.
