To configure the Network Settings:

NOTE: For information about the options, see the iDRAC Settings Utility Online Help.

1. Under Enable NIC, select the Enabled option.

2. From the NIC Selection drop-down menu, select one of the following ports based on the network

requirement:

• Dedicated — Enables the remote access device to use the dedicated network interface available

on the Remote Access Controller (RAC). This interface is not shared with the host operating

system and routes the management traffic to a separate physical network, enabling it to be

separated from the application traffic.

This option implies that iDRAC's dedicated network port routes its traffic separately from the

server's LOM or NIC ports. About managing network traffic, the Dedicated option allows iDRAC to

be assigned an IP address from the same subnet or different subnet in comparison to the IP

addresses assigned to the Host LOM or NICs.

NOTE: In blade servers, the Dedicated option is displayed as Chassis (Dedicated).

• LOM1

• LOM2

• LOM3

• LOM4

NOTE: In the case of rack and tower servers, two LOM options (LOM1 and LOM2) or all four

LOM options are available depending on the server model. In blade servers with two NDC ports,

two LOM options (LOM1 and LOM2) are available and on server with four NDC ports, all four

LOM options are available.

NOTE: Shared LOM is not supported on the following bNDCs if they are used in a full — height

server with two NDCs because they do not support hardware arbitration:

• Intel 2P X520–k bNDC 10 G

• Emulex OCM14102–N6–D bNDC 10 Gb

• Emulex OCm14102-U4-D bNDC 10 Gb

• Emulex OCm14102-U2-D bNDC 10 Gb

• QLogic QMD8262–k DP bNDC 10 G

3. From the Failover Network drop-down menu, select one of the remaining LOMs. If a network fails,

the traffic is routed through the failover network.

For example, to route the iDRAC network traffic through LOM2 when LOM1 is down, select LOM1 for

NIC Selection and LOM2 for Failover Network.

NOTE: If you have selected Dedicated in NIC Selection drop-down menu, the option is

grayed-out.
