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 to set up iDRAC IP address
You must configure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the communication to and from
iDRAC.
You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:
