Configuring the iDRAC6 NIC

This section assumes that the iDRAC6 has already been configured and is accessible on the network. See "Configuring iDRAC6" on page 36 for help with the initial iDRAC6 network configuration.

Configuring the Network and IPMI LAN Settings

NOTE: You must have Configure iDRAC permission to perform the following steps.

NOTE: Most DHCP servers require a server to store a client identifier token in its reservations table. The client (iDRAC, for example) must provide this token during DHCP negotiation. The iDRAC6 supplies the client identifier option using a one-byte interface number (0) followed by a six-byte MAC address.

NOTE: If you are running with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enabled, ensure that you also have PortFast or a similar technology turned on as follows:

-On the ports for the switch connected to iDRAC6

-On the ports connected to the management station running an iDRAC Virtual Console session

NOTE: You may see the following message if the system halts during POST: Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the system setup program One possible reason for the error is a network storm event, which causes you to lose communication with the iDRAC6. After the network storm subsides, restart the system.

1Click Remote AccessNetwork/SecurityNetwork.

2On the Network page, you can enter Network settings, Common iDRAC6 settings, IPv4 settings, IPv6 settings, IPMI settings, and VLAN settings. See Table 4-2, Table 4-3, Table 4-4, Table 4-5,

Table 4-6, and Table 4-7 for descriptions of these settings.

3When you have completed entering the required settings, click Apply.
