Modifying the iDRAC IP Address

When you modify the iDRAC IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary

<variable>=value entries. Only the actual variable group’s label with "[" and "]" remains, including the two <variable>=value entries pertaining to the IP address change.

For example:

#

#Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110

cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1

This file is 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 updates 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 do not use it in the file.
