IDrac Port
Not sure if this is possibly or not. I have three lan cables running to the server from the modem and switch and Im hoping I dont have to run another cable.
Dell Poweredge r710. Ubuntu server
is on the other side of the downstairs family room. Everything enters and leaves from my fiber modem and switch in the laundry rm…. But thru the server under the stairs. 3 of 4 GB ports are tied up. One inbound and two and three are bonded. Is it possible for me to give GB port 4 a static ip and run a small patch jumper over to the IDrac port to access it?

Hello thanks for choosing Dell and welcome to our community:
I'm afraid you can not.
You need to connect cable to iDRAC direct port to access iDRAC.
From 12G onwards, there is iDRAC settings option in F2 setup
where you can choose to select one of the LOM ports to be used for iDRAC access rather than using dedicated iDRAC port
but I don't think I see that for 11G server- you can check for yourself if there is any iDRAC settings in 11G server on F2 setup and confirm if you can use LOM port for iDRAC.
If you don't see, then I'm afraid no option.
Let us know if you have any further quetions
Respectfully,
