CLI Guide

• 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
