Enable NIC |
Select this option to enable NIC selection.
NOTE: This option is available
only if a DRAC card is installed in the system. This option is not
available on xx0x modular systems.
|
NIC Selection |
Displays the configuration option.
NOTE: The options for NIC
selection may vary based on the type of system.
NOTE: This option is available only
if a DRAC card is installed in the system. This option is not
available on xx0x modular systems.
|
Shared |
Select this option to share the network interface with the host
operating system. The remote access device network interface is fully
functional when the host operating system is configured for NIC
teaming.
The remote access device receives data through NIC 1 and NIC 2,
but transmits dataonly through NIC 1.
NOTE: If NIC 1 fails, the
remote access device will not be accessible.
|
Shared with Failover |
Select this option to share the network interface with the host
operating system. The remote access device network interface is fully
functional when the host operating system is configured for NIC
teaming.
The remote access device receives data through NIC 1 and NIC 2,
but transmits data only through NIC 1. If NIC 1 fails, the remote
access device fails over to NIC 2 for all data transmission.
The remote access device continues to use NIC 2 for data
transmission. If NIC 2 fails, the remote access device fails over all
data transmission back to NIC 1.
|
Shared with failover to all LOMs |
Select this option to share the network interface with the host
operating system. The remote access device network interface is fully
functional when the host operating system is configured for NIC
teaming.
The remote access device receives data through NIC1, NIC2, NIC3
& NIC4 but transmits data only through NIC 1. If NIC 1 fails, the
remote access device fails overto NIC 2 for all data transmission. If
NIC 2 fails, the remote access device fails overto NIC 3. If
eventually NIC4 also fails then the remote access device fails over
to NIC1 for all data transmission.
|
Dedicated | Select this option to enable the remote access device to utilize the dedicated network interface available on the Remote Access Controller (RAC). This interface is not shared with the host operating system and routes the management traffic to a separate physical network, enabling it to be separated from the application traffic. |
MAC Address | Displays the MAC address for the BMC. |
Enable IPMI Over LAN | Enables the LAN interface for Remote Access when selected; disables the LAN interface for Remote Access when deselected. |
IP Address Source | Displays the IP address of the BMC LAN interface. |
Static | Select Static if you need a fixed and assigned IP address. |
DHCP | Select DHCP if you need a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) as the source of the IP address. |
NOTE: Using DHCP to assign the IP address of the BMC LAN interface is not supported on all systems. | |
IP Address | If you selected Static as the IP address source for the BMC LAN interface, you can enter an IP address. If you selected DHCP, the IP address is disabled. |
Subnet Mask | If you selected Static as the IP address source for the BMC LAN interface, you can enter a subnet mask. If you selected DHCP, the subnet mask is disabled. |
Gateway Address |
If you selected Static as the IP address source for the
BMC LAN interface, you can enter a gateway address. If you selected
DHCP, the gateway address is disabled.
NOTE: If you enter an invalid IP
address, an error message is displayed when changes are applied.
|
Channel Privilege Level Limit | Displays the maximum privilege level that a user can have on a given channel. For example, if the channel privilege level is set to "User," only User level privileges are granted for all sessions. Commands that require higher privilege levels, such as power on/off, cannot be performed when the Channel Privilege Level Limit is set to "User." |
Administrator | For the LAN channel, Remote Access users with only Administrator privileges have access. |
Operator | For the LAN channel, Remote Access users with only Operator and Administrator privileges have access. |
User | For the LAN channel, Remote Access users with User, Operator, and Administrator privileges have access, but are granted only User level (lowest level) privileges for all sessions. |
New Encryption Key |
Enter an encryption key for the BMC. This key is used to encrypt
the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)sessions.
NOTE: The encryption key must
be a hexadecimal number with a maximum length of 20 bytes, for
example, 01FA3BA6C812855DA0. This field is displayed only for users
with Administrator privileges.
|
Enable VLAN ID | Enables or disables the virtual LAN ID. |
VLAN ID | Enter a valid value for the virtual LAN ID (must be a number from 1 to 4094). NOTE: If you enter a value outside the specified range, an error message displays when changes are applied. |
Priority | Enter a number from 0 to 7 to set the priority of the virtual LAN ID. |
IP Address Source |
Allows you to configure the IPv4 Address source as Static or
DHCP.
NOTE : If you select DHCP,
you will not be able to configure the IPv4 address options.
|
IP Address | Allows you to enter an IPv4 address. |
Subnet Mask | Allows you to enter the subnet mask. This is a thirty-two-bit addressmask used in IP to indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the subnet address. |
Gateway Address | Allows you to enter the gateway address. This is the default address of a network or website. It provides a single domain name and point of entry to the site. |
IP Address Source |
Allows you to configure the IPv6 Address source as Static or
Auto.
NOTE : If you select Auto,
the IP Address, Prefix Length,and Default Gateway
options are greyed out.
|
IP Address | Allows you to enter an IPv6 address. |
Prefix Length | Allows you to enter the IPv6 address prefix length. The prefix length indicates the number of bits that must match when comparing an IP address of a packet to the IP address in the policy. |
Default Gateway | Allows you to enter the IPv6 address default gateway. This is a node (a router) on a network that serves as an access point to another network. |
DNS Address Source |
Allows you to configure the IPv4 DNS address source as Static
or Auto.
NOTE : If you select Auto
the preferred DNS and alternate DNS server options are
greyed out.
|
Preferred DNS Server | Allows you to enter the preferred Domain Name Server (DNS) address. DNS is an Internet service that translates domain into IP addresses. |
Alternate DNS server | Allows you to enter the alternate Domain Name Server (DNS) address. DNS is an Internet service that translates domain into IP addresses. |
Apply Changes | Saves a record of the values that you have entered or selected for each field. |
