The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more
productive and improve the overall availability of Dell 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 configure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the
communication to and from iDRAC. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following
interfaces:
