3 Enabling Auto Config using iDRAC graphical user interface
(GUI)
The Network page on the iDRAC web GUI displays the Auto Config feature, enabling the selection of DHCP
provisioning options. The Enable DHCP Provisioning option is available only if DHCP is enabled for IPv4.
Select the values from the drop-down menu and restart the network to acquire the configuration file. The
options available in the Enable DHCP Provisioning drop-down menu are: Disable, Enable Once, Enable
once after reset, and Enable Always.
Note: These attributes are available only for DHCP-enabled iDRACs. If the iDRAC IP addressing is set to static, the Auto
Config attributes are grayed out. To change the DHCP Provisioning options:
1. Log in to the iDRAC GUI.
2. For iDRAC7 or iDRAC8: On the iDRAC home page, click iDRAC Settings Network.
3. Under Auto Config, from the Enable DHCP Provisioning drop-down menu, select a DHCP provisioning type.
