Switch OOB ports - Server iDRAC ports - Chassis MM and CMC ports - Other devices OOB Connection options include serial port with console redirection, dedicated iDRAC port connected to OOB OMNM allows network administrators to work with many switches on the network at one time. Most switches by default will not send and receive data for the same network to the same port, this behaviour is normal. IDRAC can share a NIC with the OS, in past people have used a dedicated port, so if you are only using the one NIC something to be aware of, it will have two IP addresses, one for the IDRAC and for the Host OS.Other options for setting the IP address: iDRAC Settings Utility - See the Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide The default iDRAC IP can be used to configure the initial network settings, including setting up a static IP for iDRAC. If no DHCP service is available, the iDRAC will use the default iDRAC IP address 192.168.120. Wait a couple of minutes for the iDRAC interface to come back on.

This will not restart the Dell server, only the iDRAC interface.

On the Diagnostics screen, click on the Reset button to restart your iDRAC interface. Access the iDRAC settings menu, access the Troubleshooting tab and select the Diagnostics Console option. There is now some question as to the correct port. I worked with the system for months and now that it is on site the iDRAC port works, the VMWare VM network port works (I can ping the running VMs) but the ESXi Management port is not responding.
