iDRAC conguration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve the overall
availability of Dell EMC systems. iDRAC alerts administrators to system issues, helps them perform remote system management, and
reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options to set up iDRAC IP address
You must congure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the communication to and from iDRAC. You
must use the default iDRAC IP address 192.168.0.120 to congure the initial network settings, including setting up DHCP or a static IP for
iDRAC. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:
NOTE
: To access iDRAC, ensure that you connect the Ethernet cable to the iDRAC direct port. You can also access iDRAC
through the shared LOM mode, if you have opted for a system that has the shared LOM mode enabled.
Log in to iDRAC
You can log in to iDRAC as:
• iDRAC user
• Microsoft Active Directory user
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user
The default user name and password are root and calvin. You can also log in by using Single Sign-On or Smart Card.
NOTE
: You must have iDRAC credentials to log in to iDRAC
NOTE: Ensure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.
