setniccfg

Table 1. Details of setniccfg attributeThe following table provides the details of setniccfg attribute:
Description	Sets the iDRACCMC IP address for static and DHCP modes. To run this subcommand, you must have the Configure iDRACConfigure Chassis Administrator privilege. NOTE: : The command helps to modify network configuration properties. NOTE: : The terms NIC and Ethernet management port may be used interchangeably.
Synopsis	racadm setniccfg -d racadm setniccfg -d6 racadm setniccfg -s <IPv4Address> <netmask> <IPv4 gateway> racadm setniccfg -s6 <IPv6 Address> <IPv6 Prefix Length> <IPv6 Gateway> racadm setniccfg -o racadm setniccfg [-m <module>] -d [-6] racadm setniccfg [-m <module>] -s <ipAddress> <netmask> <gateway> racadm setniccfg [-m <module>] -s -6 <ipv6Address> <prefixlen> <gateway> racadm setniccfg [-m <module>] -v [<vlan_id> <vlan_priority>] racadm setniccfg [-m chassis] -o racadm setniccfg –p [-6] racadm setniccfg [-m <module>] -k [<speed> <duplex>] racadm setniccfg [-i <slot>] -v [<vlan_id> <vlan_priority>]
Input	-d — Enables DHCP for the NIC. It is enabled by default. -d6 — Enables AutoConfig for the NIC (default is disabled). -s — Enables static IP settings. The IPv4 address, netmask, and gateway must be specified. Otherwise, the existing static settings are used. <ipaddress>, <netmask>, and <gateway> must be typed as dot-separated strings. racadm setniccfg -s 192.168.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0 -s6 — Enables static IPv6 settings. The IPv6 address, Prefix Length, and the IPv6 Gateway can be specified. -o — Enable or disable NIC. -m<module> — Must be one of the following values: chassis — Default state if -m is not specified server–<n>: where n=1–16 server–<nx>: where n=1–8; x=a–d (lower case) switch–<n>: where n=1–6 -v — VLAN settings has following legal values: no arguments imply remove VLAN tag, not compatible with server–nx (for example "server–4b") notation <vlan_id>=between 1 and 4000, 4021 and 4094, inclusive <vlan_priority>=between 0 and 7, inclusive. -p — Disables IPv4(default) or IPv6 protocol. -k — Option has following legal values: no arguments imply autonegotiate <speed>=10, 100 <duplex> =half, full. NOTE: : -o, -k, -p: These options can be specified for chassis only -6: Sets static IPv6 addresses (with -soption). Enables autoconfig for IPv6 (with-d option) disables IPv6 (with-p option) can be specified for chassis or servers. -v: When performing on a switch, release and renew any DHCP lease on that port for changes to take effect.
Example	To Configure static IPv4 address for iDRAC NIC racadm setniccfg -s 192.168.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0 Static IP configuration enabled and modified successfully Configure DHCP mode for iDRAC IPv4 racadm setniccfg -d DHCP is now ENABLED Configure DHCP mode for iDRAC IPv6 racadm setniccfg -d6 DHCP6 is now ENABLED Configuration of Speed= 100 Mbps and duplex= full duplex. racadm setniccfg -k 100 full Configuration of Speed and Duplex to Autonegotiate. racadm setniccfg -k Configuration of VLAN id and priority of a slot or all blades in a sleeve. racadm setniccfg -i 5 -v 1000 7 Configuration of CMC to a static IPv6 address. racadm setniccfg -m chassis -s -6 2001:DB8::2 64 2001:DB8::1 Configuration of server to use stateless autoconfiguration address. racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -d -6 Configuration of VLAN id and priority for a switch. racadm setniccfg -m switch-1 -v 1000 7 Removal of VLAN configuration from a switch. racadm setniccfg -m switch-1 -v Configuration of redundant mode racadm setniccfg -r 1
