The Network configuration section is expanded. 2 In the General Settings section, you can enable or disable NIC, Register with DNS and Auto Negotiation. If you enable Register with DNS, then enter the DNS Name and enable or disable the Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name option. If Auto Negotiation is false or disabled, you can choose network port speed. If the Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name is disabled, then enter the DNS Domain Name. NOTE: You can enable Use DHCP for DNS Name only if IPv4 or IPv6 has DHCP configured. OME-Modular obtains its DNS domain name from either a DHCP or DHCPv6 server when Use DHCP for DNS Name is enabled. 3 In the IPv4 Settings section, configure the following: • Enable IPv4 • Enable DHCP • IP Address • Subnet Mask • Gateway • Use DHCP to Obtain DNS Server Addresses • Static Preferred DNS Server • Static Alternate DNS Server 4 In the IPv6 Settings section, configure the following: • Enable IPv6 • Enable Autoconfiguration • IPv6 Address • Prefix Length • Gateway • Use DHCPv6 to Obtain DNS Server Addresses • Statis Preferred DNS Server • Static Alternate DNS Server 5 Enable or disable the VLAN for the chassis. You can configure the VLAN settings only if the Register with DNS check box is cleared. You can change the VLAN settings, that is, move from a VLAN network to a non-VLAN network, or move from a non-VLAN network to a VLAN network, only if Register with DNS is cleared. By default, the IPv4 settings are enabled and the DNS registration is disabled with a default name. You can modify the name using any local interfaces such as OpenManage Mobile. NOTE: Ensure that the network cable is plugged to the correct port when you modify the VLAN state for the change to be effective. Isolate the chassis management from the data network as the uptime of a chassis that is improperly integrated into your environment cannot be supported or guaranteed. Due to the potential of traffic on the data network, the management interfaces on the internal management network can be saturated by traffic that is intended for servers. This results in OME-Modular and iDRAC communication delays. These delays may cause unpredictable chassis behavior, such as OME-Modular displaying iDRAC as offline even when it is up and running, which in turn causes other unwanted behavior. If physically isolating the management network is impractical, the other option is to separate OME-Modular and iDRAC traffic to a separate VLAN. OME-Modular and individual iDRAC network interfaces can be configured to use a VLAN. NOTE: Any change in the attribute settings leads to IP drop or unavailability of the OME-Modular web interface for some time. However, the OME-Modular web interface recovers automatically. Configuring chassis network services The chassis network services configuration comprises of SNMP, SSH, and remote RACADM settings. Logging in to OME-Modular 19
