iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve the overall
availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators about system issues and enables them to perform remote system management.
This reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options for setting up an iDRAC IP address
To enable communication between your system and iDRAC, you must first configure the network settings based on your network
infrastructure.
You can set up the iDRAC IP address using one of the following interfaces:
•
iDRAC Settings utility
•
Lifecycle Controller
•
Dell Deployment Toolkit
For more information, see the
Integrated Dell Remote Access Control User's Guide
located at
You must use the default iDRAC IP address 192.168.0.120 to configure the initial network settings, including setting up DHCP or a static IP
for iDRAC.
NOTE:
To access iDRAC, ensure that you connect the ethernet cable to the dedicated NIC port. You can also access iDRAC
through the shared LOM mode, if you have opted for a system that has the shared LOM mode enabled.
