Setting Description
Enable iDRAC LAN Enables or disables the iDRAC LAN channel. By default, this
option is cleared.
Enable iDRAC IPv4 Enables or disables IPv4 on iDRAC. By default, this option is
selected.
Enable iDRAC IPMI over LAN Enables or disables the IPMI over LAN channel for each iDRAC
present in the chassis. By default, this option is selected.
Enable iDRAC IPv4 DHCP Enables or disables DHCP for each iDRAC present in the chassis.
If this option is enabled, the fields QuickDeploy IP,
QuickDeploy Subnet Mask, and QuickDeploy Gateway are
disabled, and cannot be modified since DHCP is used to
automatically assign these settings for each iDRAC. To select this
option, you must select the Enable iDRAC IPv4 option. Quick
Deploy IP address is provided with two options — 2 and 4.
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) Specifies the static IP address of iDRAC in the server, in slot 1 of
the enclosure. The IP address of each subsequent iDRAC is
incremented by 1 for each slot from slot 1's static IP address. In
the case where the IP address plus the slot number is greater
than the subnet mask, an error message is displayed.
NOTE: The subnet mask and the gateway are not
incremented such as the IP address.
For example, if the starting IP address is 192.168.0.250 and
the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 then the QuickDeploy IP
address for slot 15 is 192.168.0.265. If the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0, the QuickDeploy IP address range
is not fully within QuickDeploy Subnet error
message is displayed when you click Save QuickDeploy
Settings or Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings.
iDRAC IPv4 Netmask Specifies the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned to all
newly inserted servers.
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway Specifies the QuickDeploy default gateway that is assigned to all
the DRAC present in the chassis.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present in the chassis
that is IPv6 capable.
Enable iDRAC IPv6 Autoconfiguration Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address and prefix
length) from a DHCPv6 server and also enables stateless address
auto configuration. By default, this option is enabled.
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Specifies the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the iDRACs.
The default value is "::".
iDRAC IPv6 Prefix Length Specifies the prefix length to be assigned for the IPv6 addresses
on the iDRAC. The default value is 64.
Use CMC DNS Settings Communicates the CMC DNS server settings (IPv4 and IPv6) to
iDRAC when a blade server is inserted in the chassis.
3. Click Save QuickDeploy Settings to save the settings. If you have made changes to the iDRAC network setting, click Apply iDRAC
Network Settings to deploy the settings to the iDRAC.
The QuickDeploy feature only executes when it is enabled, and a server is inserted in the chassis. If Set iDRAC Root Password on
Server Insertion and QuickDeploy Enabled are enabled, the user is prompted using the LCD interface to allow or not allow the
password change. If there are network configuration settings that differ from the current iDRAC settings, the user is prompted to
either accept or reject the changes.
NOTE:
If there is a LAN or IPMI over LAN difference, the user is prompted to accept the QuickDeploy IP address
setting. If the difference is the DHCP setting, the user is prompted to accept the DHCP QuickDeploy setting.
To copy the QuickDeploy settings into the iDRAC Network Settings section, click Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings.
The QuickDeploy network configurations settings are copied into the corresponding fields in the iDRAC Network Configuration
Settings table.
