None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem.
Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port.
Active-active—All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously. See
Redundancy Settings, page 2-12
Before you enable DHCP, your DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC
addresses for this server. The MAC address is printed on a label on the rear of the server. This
server has a range of six MAC addresses assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed
on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.
In Cisco IMC 2.0(1) and later, you can choose whether to use IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses by
checking either the IPv4 or IPv6 check box.
Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation
sets the port speed and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server
is connected. If you disable auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode
manually.
