Working with Remote Access Controller 97
3 Click LAN .
The
LAN Configuration window appears.
NOTE: BMC/iDRAC management traffic does not function properly if the LAN
on motherboard (LOM) is teamed with any network adapter add-in-cards.
4 Configure the following NIC configuration details:
– Enable NIC (this option is available on Dell PowerEdge
x9xx systems
and when DRAC is installed. Select this option for NIC teaming.
In Dell PowerEdge x9xx systems, you can team NICs for added
redundancy.)
NOTE: Your DRAC contains an integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-T Ethernet NIC
and supports TCP/IP. The NIC has a default address of 192.168.20.1 and a
default gateway of 192.168.20.1.
NOTE: If your DRAC is configured to the same IP address as another NIC on
the same network, an IP address conflict occurs. The DRAC stops responding
to network commands until the IP address is changed on the DRAC. The DRAC
must be reset even if the IP address conflict is resolved by changing the
IP address of the other NIC.
NOTE: Changing the IP address of the DRAC causes the DRAC to reset.
If SNMP polls the DRAC before it initializes, a temperature warning is logged
because the correct temperature is not transmitted until the DRAC is initialized.
–NIC Selection
NOTE: NIC Selection cannot be configured on modular systems.
NOTE: The NIC Selection option is available only on yx1x systems and earlier.
– Primary and Failover Network options
For yx2x systems, the
Primary Network options for Remote
Management (iDRAC7) NIC are: LOM1, LOM2, LOM3, LOM4, and
Dedicated. The
Failover Network options are: LOM1, LOM2, LOM3,
LOM4, All LOMs, and None.
The dedicated option is available when the iDRAC7 Enterprise
License is present and valid.
NOTE: The number of LOMs varies based on the system or hardware
configuration.
