Configuring iDRAC6 Network Properties
To generate a list of available network properties, type the following:
racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking
To use DHCP to obtain an IP address, use the following command to write
the object cfgNicUseDhcp and enable this feature:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicUseDHCP 1
The commands provide the same configuration functionality as the iDRAC6
Configuration Utility at boot-up when you are prompted to type
<Ctrl><E>. For more information about configuring network properties
with the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility, see
"Configuring Your System to Use
an iDRAC6
" on page 34.
