In the system tree, go to Server Overview, and then click Setup → iDRAC. The Deploy iDRAC page is displayed. The

iDRAC Network Settings section lists all installed server’s iDRAC IPv4 and IPv6 network configuration settings.

Modify the iDRAC network settings as required for the server(s).

NOTE: You must select the Enable LAN option to specify the IPv4 or IPv6 settings. For information about the

To deploy the setting to iDRAC, click Apply iDRAC Network Settings. If you made changes to the QuickDeploy

settings, they are also saved.
The iDRAC Network Settings table reflects future network configuration settings; the values shown for installed
servers may or may not be the same as the currently installed iDRAC network configuration settings. Click Refresh
to update the iDRAC Deploy page with each installed iDRAC network configuration settings after changes are
made.

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 a one or more iDRAC servers.

Configuring iDRAC VLAN Tag Settings

VLANs are used to allow multiple virtual LANs to co-exist on the same physical network cable and to segregate the
network traffic for security or load management purposes. When you enable the VLAN functionality, each network
packet is assigned a VLAN tag. VLAN tags are chassis properties. They remain with the chassis even when a
component is removed.

1.

Go to any of the following pages:

– In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview and click Network → VLAN.
– In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview → Server Overview and click Network → VLAN. The VLAN Tag

Settings page is displayed.

2.

In the iDRAC section, enable VLAN for the server(s), set the priority and enter the ID. For more information about
