The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) with Lifecycle Controller is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve the overall availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators to system issues, help them perform remote system management and reduces the need for physical access to the system. You must configure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the communication to and from iDRAC.

You can set up the IP address using one of the following interfaces:


 

Configure the iDRAC Network Settings with iDRAC Setting Utility (F2 during POST)

To configure the iDRAC Network Settings:

  1. Turn on the managed system.
  2. Press <F2> during the Power-on Self-test (POST).

  1. Configure the network settings.
    1. Under Enable NIC, select Enabled.
    2. From the NIC Selection drop-down menu, select one of the following ports based on the network requirement:
      1. Dedicated - Enables the remote access device to use the dedicated network interface available on the Remote Access Controller. This interface is not shared with the host operating system. Note, in blade servers, the Dedicated option is displayed as Chassis (Dedicated).
      2. LOM1
      3. LOM2
      4. LOM3 - May not be available depending on server model and network card selection.
      5. LOM4 - May not be available depending on server model and network card selection.
    3. From the Failover Network drop-down menu, select one of the remaining LOMs. If a network fails, the traffic is routed through the failover network. Note, this option is disabled if NIC Selection is set to Dedicated.
    4. Under Auto Negotiation, select On if iDRAC must automatically set the duplex mode and network speed. Note, this option is available on for dedicated mode.
    5. Under Network Speed, select either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Note, 1000 Mbps is available only if the Auto Negotiation option is enabled.
    6. Under Duplex Mode, select Half Duplex or Full Duplex option. Note, this option is disabled if Auto Negotiation is set to Enabled.

  1. Common Settings

    If a network infrastructure has a DNS server, register iDRAC on the DNS. These are the initial setting requirements for advanced features such as Directory services—Active Directory or LDAP, Single Sign On, and smart card.

    To register iDRAC:

    1. Enable Register DRAC on DNS.
    2. Enter the DNS DRAC Name.
    3. Select Auto Config Domain Name to automatically acquire the domain name from DHCP. Else, provide the DNS Domain Name.
  2. Configure IPv4 settings
    1. Select the Enabled option under Enable IPv4.
    2. Select the Enabled option under Enable DHCP to automatically assign the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask to iDRAC. Else select Disabled and enter the values for:
      1. Static IP Address
      2. Static Gateway
      3. Static Subnet Mask

  1. Configure IPv6 settings
    1. Select the Enabled option under Enable IPv6.
    2. For the DHCPv6 server to automatically assign the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask to iDRAC, select Enabled option under Enable Auto-configuration.
    3. In the Static IP Address 1 box, enter the static IPv6 address.
    4. In the Static Prefix Length box, enter a value between 0 and 128.
    5. In the Static Gateway box, enter the gateway address.
    6. If you are using DHCP, enable DHCPv6 to obtain DNC Server address to obtain Primary and Secondary DNS server addresses from the DHCPv6 server. You can configure the following if needed:
      1. In the Static Preferred DNS Server box, enter the static DNS server IPv6 address.
      2. In the Static Alternate DNS Server box, enter the static alternate DNS Server address.
  2. Click Back.
  3. Click Finish. The Save Changes popup is displayed.
