Enabling or disabling OS to iDRAC Pass-through using iDRAC settings utility

1. In the iDRAC Settings utility, go to Communications Permissions.
   The iDRAC Settings.Communications Permissions page is displayed.
2. Select any of the following options to enable OS to iDRAC pass-through:
   • LOM — The OS to iDRAC pass-through link between the iDRAC and the host operating system is established through the LOM or NDC.
   • USB NIC — The OS to iDRAC pass-through link between the iDRAC and the host operating system is established through the internal USB bus.

   To disable this feature, select Disabled.

   NOTE The LOM option can be selected only of the card supports OS to iDRAC pass-through capability. Else, this option is grayed-out.
3. If you select LOM as the pass-through configuration, and if the server is connected using dedicated mode, enter the IPv4 address of the operating system.
   NOTE If the server is connected in shared LOM mode, then the OS IP Address field is disabled.
4. If you select USB NIC as the pass-through configuration, enter the IP address of the USB NIC.
   The default value is 169.254.1.1. However, if this IP address conflicts with an IP address of other interfaces of the host system or the local network, you must change it. Do not enter 169.254.0.3 and 169.254.0.4 IPs. These IPs are reserved for the USB NIC port on the front panel when a A/A cable is used
5. Click Back, click Finish, and then click Yes.
