iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve
the overall availability of Dell EMC 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 must use the default iDRAC IP address 192.168.0.120 to configure the initial network settings, including setting up DHCP or
a static IP for iDRAC. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:
