iDRAC6 LAN
Use the left-arrow and right-arrow keys and the spacebar to select between
Enabled and Disabled.
The iDRAC6 LAN is disabled in the default configuration. The LAN must be
enabled to permit the use of iDRAC6 facilities, such as the Web-based
interface, telnet/SSH access to the SM-CLP command line interface, console
redirection, and virtual media.
If you choose to disable the LAN the following warning displays:
iDRAC Out-of-Band interface will be disabled if the
LAN Channel is OFF.
The message informs you that in addition to facilities that you access by
connecting to the iDRAC6 HTTP, HTTPS, telnet, or SSH ports directly,
out-of-band management network traffic, such as IPMI messages sent to
iDRAC6 from a management station, are not received when the LAN is
disabled. The local RACADM interface remains available and can be used to
reconfigure the iDRAC6 LAN.
Press any key to clear the message and continue.
IPMI Over LAN
Press the left-arrow and right-arrow keys and the spacebar to choose between
On and Off. When Off is selected, iDRAC6 will not accept IPMI messages
arriving over the LAN interface.
If you choose Off, the following warning displays:
iDRAC Out-of-Band interface will be disabled if IPMI
Over LAN is OFF.
Press any key to clear the message and continue. For an explanation of the
message, see "iDRAC6 LAN."
