Setting Description
Enable iDRAC IPv4 DHCP Enables or disables DHCP for each iDRAC present in the chassis. If this option is
enabled, the elds QuickDeploy IP, QuickDeploy Subnet Mask, and
QuickDeploy Gateway are disabled, and cannot be modied 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) Species 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 Species the QuickDeploy subnet mask that is assigned to all newly inserted
servers.
iDRAC IPv4 Gateway Species 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 Autoconguration Enables the iDRAC to obtain IPv6 settings (address and prex length) from a
DHCPv6 server and also enables stateless address auto conguration. By default,
this option is enabled.
iDRAC IPv6 Gateway Species the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the iDRACs. The default
value is "::".
iDRAC IPv6 Prex Length Species the prex 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 conguration settings that dier 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 dierence, the user is prompted to accept the QuickDeploy IP address
setting. If the dierence 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 congurations settings are copied into the corresponding elds in the iDRAC Network Conguration
Settings table.
NOTE: Changes made to QuickDeploy elds are immediate, but changes made to one or more iDRAC server network
conguration settings may require a couple of minutes to propagate from CMC to iDRAC. Clicking Refresh early may
display only partially correct data for one or more iDRAC servers.
