Configuring iDRAC Virtual LAN Tag Settings Using RACADM

Specify the Virtual LAN ID and priority of a particular server with the following command:

racadm setniccfg -m server-<
                                       n> -v <
                                       VLAN id> <
                                       VLAN priority>

The valid values for < n> are 1–4.

The valid values for < VLAN> are 1–4000 and 4021–4094. Default is 1.

The valid values for < VLAN priority> are 0–7. Default is 0.

For example:

racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -v 1 7

For example:

To remove a server VLAN, disable the VLAN capabilities of the specified server's network:

racadm setniccfg -m server-<
                                       n> -v

The valid values for < n> are 1–4.

For example:

racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -v
