Default 0
cfgNicSelection (Read or Write)
Description Specifies the current mode of operation for the RAC network interface controller (NIC). The
table below describes the supported modes.
This object is applicable only for iDRAC on Rack and Tower Servers and not for iDRAC
Enterprise on Blade Servers or CMC.
Legal Values
• 1 = Dedicated
• 2 = LOM1
• 3 = LOM2
• 4 = LOM3
• 5 = LOM4
Default
• LOM1 with no failover for iDRAC Express
• Dedicated for iDRAC Enterprise
The following table lists the supported cfgNicSelection modes:
Mode Description
Shared Used if the host server integrated NIC is shared with the RAC on the host server. This
mode enables configurations to use the same IP address on the host server and the RAC
for common accessibility on the network.
Shared with Failover LOM 2 Enables teaming capabilities between host server LOM2 integrated network interface
controllers.
Dedicated Specifies that the RAC NIC is used as the dedicated NIC for remote accessibility.
Shared with Failover All
LOMs
Enables teaming capabilities between all LOMs on the host server integrated network
interface controllers.
The remote access device network interface is fully functional when the host operating
system is configured for NIC teaming. The remote access device receives data through
NIC 1 and NIC 2, but transmits data only through NIC 1.
Failover occurs from NIC 2 to NIC 3 and then to NIC 4. If NIC 4 is unsuccessful, then the
remote access device does not succeed over all data transmission back to NIC 1, but
only if the original NIC 1 failure has been corrected.
cfgNicVLanEnable (Read or Write)
Description Enables or disables the VLAN capabilities of the RAC/
BMC.
