Dedicated—The two 10/100 management ports are used to access the CIMC. You have to select a
NIC redundancy and IP setting.
Shared LOM (default)—The two 1Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the CIMC. This is the factory
default setting, along with Active-active NIC redundancy and DHCP enabled.
Cisco Card—The ports on an installed Cisco network adapter card are used to access the CIMC. You
have to select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.
The Cisco Card NIC mode is currently supported only with a Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface
Card (N2XX-ACPCI01) that is installed in PCIe slot 2 (see
Special Considerations for the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01),

None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem.
