Introduction
All Fluke Networks, Visual Networks, Netscout and COMCERT DELL bases appliances come with a iDRAC Management Interface with dedicated NIC. Its is highly recommended to configure this interface appropriately to allow remote access to the appliance and to send system alerts to a network manegement station of your choice.
Solution
Configuration via System Setup
Connect keyboard, video and mouse to the appliance front or back.
On recent models (12th generation and after), iDRAC configuration is part of System Setup. Press <F2> at server startup to enter setup.
On older models (11th generation and before), you may have to press <Ctrl-E> during the boot process to enter iDRAC configuration.
Configuration and reset via server's operating system
Racadm will try to launch a graphic shell which isn't installed. Omit all warnings in regard to Xlib.
RACadmin is installed on all Fluke Networks, Visual Networks, Netscout and COMCERT DELL bases appliances. To use RACadmin, you must be root user.
Login to the CLI and if not already rioot, asume root priviledges:
$ sudo su -
To reset the iDRAC interface
This is just a reset; it does not clear the current configuration.
# racadm racreset
To view the iDRAC IP configuration
# racadm getniccfg
To set a static IP address
This example will enable the following IPv4 configuration:
- IP address = 192.168.0.120
- IP mask = 255.255.255.0
- Default route = 192.168.0.1
# racadm setniccfg -s 192.168.0.120 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
To enable DHCP
# racadm setniccfg -d
