iDRAC 8 not pulling IP address via DHCP or Static IP
Hello, I have a Dell PowerEdge T630 and have both NIC's connected to a switch. The iDRAC will not pull an IP address at all. Showing 0.0.0.0 on both the panel and the local iDRAC settings that I can see locally on the server via the GUI. I have tried to manually put in the IP address (set as static) that I wish it to have as well as all other information required. Additionally, when I set the IP as static, I check to see if I am seeing it connecting to the network and it is not showing up at all either via DHCP or Static assigned IP address. Does anyone have any ideas on what a possible fix could be for this?

Can you check whether your iDRAC is in Dedicated or shared mode from iDRAC settings. You can check NIC selection settings for this. If it is in Dedicated then you need to connect network cable to dedicated network port of iDRAC. If you want iDRAC to share the system LOM port you can select LOM1 or LOM2 as NIC selection.
When you are trying to set static IP ensure DHCP option is disabled
