Setting Up iDRAC7 IP Address

You must configure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the communication to and from iDRAC7. You can set up the IP address using one of the following interfaces:
  • iDRAC Settings utility
  • Lifecycle Controller (see Lifecycle Controller User’s Guide)
  • Dell Deployment Toolkit (see Dell Deployment Toolkit User’s Guide )
  • Chassis or Server LCD panel (see the system’s Hardware Owner’s Manual )
    • NOTE: In case of blade servers, you can configure the network setting using the Chassis LCD panel only during initial configuration of CMC. After the chassis is deployed, you cannot reconfigure iDRAC7 using the Chassis LCD panel.
  • CMC Web interface (see Dell Chassis Management Controller Firmware User’s Guide)

In case of rack and tower servers, you can set up the IP address or use the default iDRAC7 IP address 192.168.0.120 to configure initial network settings, including setting up DHCP or the static IP for iDRAC7.

In case of blade servers, the iDRAC7 network interface is disabled by default.

After you configure iDRAC7 IP address:
  • Make sure to change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC7 IP address .
  • Access it through any of the following interfaces:
    • iDRAC7 Web interface using a supported browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari)
    • Secure Shell (SSH) — Requires a client such as PuTTY on Windows. SSH is available by default in most of the Linux systems and hence does not require a client.
    • Telnet (must be enabled, since it is disabled by default)
    • IPMITool (uses IPMI command) or shell prompt (requires Dell customized installer in Windows or Linux, available from Systems Management Documentation and Tools DVD or support.dell.com)
