Viewing network interfaces available on host OS

You can view information about all the network interfaces that are available on the host operating system such as the IP addresses
that are assigned to the server. The iDRAC Service Module provides this information to iDRAC. The OS IP address information
includes the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, MAC address, Subnet mask or prefix length, the FQDD of the network device, network
interface name, network interface description, network interface status, network interface type (Ethernet, tunnel, loopback, and so
on.), Gateway address, DNS server address, and DHCP server address.
NOTE: This feature is available with iDRAC Express and iDRAC Enterprise licenses.
To view the OS information, make sure that:
