Configuring iDRAC Virtual LAN Tag Settings

Virtual LAN (VLAN) tags enable multiple VLANs to coexist on the same physical network cable and to segregate the network traffic
for security or load management purposes. When you enable the VLAN functionality, each network packet is assigned a VLAN tag.
VLAN tags are chassis properties. They remain with the chassis even when a component is removed.
NOTE: The VLAN ID configured using CMC is applied to iDRAC only when iDRAC is in dedicated mode. If iDRAC is in
shared LOM mode, the VLAN ID changes made in iDRAC are not displayed on the CMC GUI.

Configuring iDRAC Virtual LAN Tag Settings Using RACADM

Specify the Virtual LAN ID and priority of a particular server with the following command:
racadm setniccfg -m server-<n> -v <VLAN id> <VLAN priority>
The valid values for <n> are 1–4.
The valid values for <VLAN> are 1–4000 and 4021–4094. Default is 1.
The valid values for <VLAN priority> are 0–7. Default is 0.
For example:
racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -v 1 7
For example:
To remove a server VLAN, disable the VLAN capabilities of the specified server's network:
racadm setniccfg -m server-<n> -v
The valid values for <n> are 1–4.
For example:
racadm setniccfg -m server-1 -v

Configuring iDRAC Virtual LAN Tag Settings Using Web Interface

To configure Vitual LAN(VLAN) for server:
1.
Go to any of the following pages:
In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Network → VLAN.
In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Server Overview and click Setup → VLAN.
2.
On the VLAN Tag Settings page, in the iDRAC section, enable VLAN for the server(s), set the priority and enter the ID. For
more information about the fields, see the Online Help.
3.
Click Apply to save the settings.

Setting First Boot Device

You can specify the CMC first boot device for each server. This may not be the actual first boot device for the server, or may not
even represent a device present in that server. It represents a device sent by CMC to the server and used as its first boot device of
that server. This device can be set as the default first-boot device or an one-time device so that you can boot an image to perform
tasks such as running diagnostics or reinstalling an operating system.
You can set the first boot device for the next boot only or for all subsequent reboots. You can also set the first boot device for the
server. The system boots from the selected device on the next and subsequent reboots and remains as the first boot device in the
BIOS boot order, until it is changed again either from the CMC web interface (Chassis Overview → Server Overview → Setup →
First Boot Device) or from the BIOS boot sequence.
