Installing and Setting Up the DRAC 4 35
Configuring the DRAC 4 Network Settings
NOTICE: Changing your DRAC 4 Network settings may disconnect your current network connection.
Configure the DRAC 4 network settings using one of the following tools:
• Option ROM — See "Configuring the DRAC 4 Network Settings Using the Option ROM."
• Web-based Interface — See "Configuring the DRAC 4 NIC."
• racadm CLI — See "cfgLanNetworking."
NOTE: If you are deploying the DRAC 4 in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment, see "Installing the
racadm CLI on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Management Station."
NOTE: The DRAC 4 resets its NIC every 30 seconds when the network is idle to ensure that the physical
hardware mechanisms remain operational.
Configuring the DRAC 4 Network Settings Using the Option ROM
The DRAC 4 contains an integrated NIC that has a default address of 192.168.0.120 and a default
gateway of 192.168.0.1. Perform the following steps to use the DRAC 4 IDE Option ROM utility
to configure these settings and a limited number of additional DRAC 4 network settings.

To access the DRAC 4 IDE Option ROM utility during the managed system’s boot,
press <Ctrl><d> within 5 seconds of the time the DRAC 4 banner, firmware version, and
current NIC IP address are displayed.
The

screen appears. Below the screen title is the

menu.

Use Table 2-1 to select and change the DRAC 4 NIC properties. Make changes by typing
one-keystroke menu selections. The menu selections are not case sensitive.

move between the two pages.
NOTE: When modifying any of the following options, you can press <Esc> while typing the value to
avoid modifying the current value. If you press <Option Edit> and it toggles a setting (changes the
setting between only two possible values), press <Option Edit> again to change the value back to
the original setting. Pressing <Esc> will not undo a modification after you type a new value.
