Enables IPv6 addressing for each iDRAC present in the
chassis that is IPv6 capable.

Enable iDRAC IPv6 Autoconfiguration

prefix length) from a DHCPv6 server and also enables
stateless address auto configuration. By default, this
option is enabled.

Specifies the default IPv6 gateway to be assigned to the
iDRACs. The default value is "::".

iDRAC IPv6 Prefix Length

Click Save QuickDeploy Settings to save the settings. If you have made changes to the iDRAC network setting, click

Apply iDRAC Network Settings to deploy the settings to the iDRAC.
The QuickDeploy feature only executes when it is enabled, and a server is inserted in the chassis. If Set iDRAC Root
Password on Server Insertion and QuickDeploy Enabled are enabled, the user is prompted using the LCD interface
to allow or not allow the password change. If there are network configuration settings that differ from the current
iDRAC settings, the user is prompted to either accept or not accept the changes.

NOTE: When there is a LAN or IPMI over LAN difference, the user is prompted to accept the QuickDeploy IP
address setting. If the difference is the DHCP setting, the user is prompted to accept the DHCP QuickDeploy
setting.

To copy the QuickDeploy settings into the iDRAC Network Settings section, click Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy
Settings. The QuickDeploy network configurations settings are copied into the corresponding fields in the iDRAC
Network Configuration Settings table.

NOTE: Changes made to QuickDeploy fields are immediate, but changes made to one or more iDRAC server
network configuration settings may require a couple of minutes to propagate from CMC to iDRAC. Clicking
Refresh too soon may display only partially correct data for one or more iDRAC servers.

Configuring Reserved QuickDeploy IP Addresses Using RACADM

To modify the number of static IP addresses allocated for servers on the chassis using RACADM, use the following
command:
racadm deploy –q -n <num>

where <num> is the number of IP addresses, 8. 16, or 32.
To view current settings for the number of reserved IP addresses for servers on the chassis using RACADM, use the
following command:
racadm deploy –q

For more information, see the

RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC

available at dell.com/

support/manuals.

Modifying iDRAC Network Settings for Individual Server iDRAC

Using this table you can configure the iDRAC network configurations settings for each installed server. The initial values
displayed for each of the fields are the current values read from the iDRAC.
