• For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the "[ ]" pair. The following are examples of the
current indexed groups:

If you type racadm getconfig -f <
iDRAC7 configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting point for your unique . cfg
file.

Modifying the iDRAC7 IP Address

When you modify the iDRAC7 IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary
the actual variable group's label with "[" and "]" remains, including the two
address change.
For example:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110
cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1
This file is updated as follows:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143
# comment, the rest of this line is ignored
cfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1
The command racadm config -f myfile.cfg parses the file and identifies any errors by line number. A
correct file updates the proper entries. Additionally, you can use the same getconfig command from the previous
example to confirm the update.
Use this file to download company-wide changes or to configure new systems over the network.
NOTE: "Anchor" is an internal term and do not use it in the file.
