Dell IDRAC6 manual Configuring iDRAC6 Network Properties, 123

cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1

This file will be updated as follows:

#

#Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143

#comment, the rest of this line is ignored cfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1

The command racadm config -f myfile.cfg parses the file and identifies any errors by line number. A correct file will update the proper entries. Additionally, you can use the same getconfig command from the previous example to confirm the update.

Use this file to download company-wide changes or to configure new systems over the network.

NOTE: "Anchor" is an internal term and should not be used in the file.

Configuring iDRAC6 Network Properties

To generate a list of available network properties, type the following:

racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking

To use DHCP to obtain an IP address, use the following command to write the object cfgNicUseDhcp and enable this feature:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicUseDHCP 1

The commands provide the same configuration functionality as the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility at boot-up when you are prompted to type <Ctrl><E>. For more information about configuring network properties with the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility, see "Configuring Your System to Use an iDRAC6" on page 34.
