The Initial System Configuration Wizard lets you configure the following network settings to complete a first-time
initialization of your system:
•
IP addressing mode
•
Subnet mask address
•
Default gateway address
•
DNS suffix address
•
Primary DNS server IP address
•
(Optional) Secondary DNS server IP address
•
Host name for system
Default IP Address and Subnet Mask Address
This topic lists the following default address values that can be used for initialization of a DR Series system:
•
IP address—10.77.88.99
•
Subnet mask address—255.0.0.0
There are two key factors related to default address values and initializing a DR Series system:
•
Using the local console
•
Reserving MAC addresses using DHCP
If the network where the system will reside does not have or does not support DHCP, then the DR Series system can use
the default IP (10.77.88.99) and subnet mask (255.0.0.0) addresses provided for initialization. If the network where the
system will reside does not have or support reserving an IP address for the MAC address of the NICs in the DHCP
server, then DHCP assigns an arbitrary IP address that is unknown (and which is unusable by you) during initialization.
As a result, if your network does not support DHCP or if you cannot reserve an IP address for the specific MAC
addresses of the DHCP network interface cards (NICs), then Dell recommends that you use the local console connection
method and the Initial System Configuration Wizard.
NOTE: After successfully initializing and configuring your system, you can modify the IP address to use either a
static IP address or use dynamic IP addressing (DHCP), and modify the subnet mask address to be one that is
supported by your network.
NOTE: If you have not run the Initial System Configuration Wizard on one (or more) DR Series system(s) being
installed into the same network, there is a potential that the system (or systems) may come up with the same
default IP address (10.77.88.99). The default IP address is not user-configurable and it can potentially result in
becoming a duplicate IP address in the case of multiple systems.
Initialization issues could include when a network has had a network power outage, the DHCP server in the network is
misconfigured, or if the Initial System Configuration Wizard has never been run.
If your network does not accept the default subnet mask address (255.0.0.0), you can establish a connection between
the DR Series system and a laptop workstation. In this case, make sure that you connect using SSH, and use the default
IP address to run the Initial System Configuration Wizard.
If you are using a known static IP address, you can skip running the Initial System Configuration Wizard, and directly
configure the DR Series system using its user interface.
To configure the DR Series system, select System Configuration
→
Networking , and configure the network settings as
desired. For more information, see
Configuring Networking Settings
