Release Notes
System Firmware Version 5.1.1.7 Page 73
SSH RSA or DSA keys can be generated by using the ssh-keygen command on a
Unix system or with other publicly available utilities.
Broadcom NIC link always stays up
within the m8024-k status even after
disabling server port through device
manager or turning off server altogether.
Low- This is works as designed and is necessary for new features for 12G.
The Broadcom NIC 57810S never reports to the internal switch that the link is
down because it needs the link to be up so that internal communications can
continue with iDRAC and for other various components even after disabling the
link on the server side.
