Poweredge Physical NIC
Hello all,
Are there any commands I can run from my idrac to tell me how many physical nics are available for use, on the actual server. I am not in the physical location of my server, and I would like to confirm the amount of physical nics available through cli. Please let me know if there is any other info that I can get you to help answer my question. Also, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, or if this has been posted before. I looked, but did not see anything. Thank you.

I thought that I had figured it out with racadm ifconfig, but that was wrong. If I log into one of my idracs and run this command, there are 8 interfaces that I see, including usb0. When I look at the esxi host of that idrac, there are 8vmnics to be used, and a usb0 nic, so 9 total. The mac addresses on the ifconfig output do not match any macs that are on the vmnics found on the esxi host.
/admin1-> racadm ifconfig

Hello jblv92,
To see how many physical NIC's the host has you can run:
racadm hwinventory nic
