DRAC 5 Property Database Group and Object Definitions351 Legal Values 1 (TRUE) 0 (FALSE) Default 0 Description Enables or disables the RAC network interface controller. If the NIC is disabled, the remote network interfaces to the RAC will no longer be accessible, and the RAC will only be available through the serial or local RACADM interfaces. cfgNicIpAddress (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. This parameter is only configurable if the cfgNicUseDhcp parameter is set to 0 (FALSE). Legal Values A string representing a valid IP address. For example: 192.168.0.20. Default 192.168.0.120 Description Specifies the static IP address to assign to the RAC. This property is only valid if cfgNicUseDhcp is set to 0 (FALSE). cfgNicNetmask (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. This parameter is only configurable if the cfgNicUseDhcp parameter is set to 0 (FALSE). Legal Values A string representing a valid subnet mask. For example: 255.255.255.0. Default 255.255.255.0
352DRAC 5 Property Database Group and Object Definitions Description The subnet mask used for static assignment of the RAC IP address. This property is only valid if cfgNicUseDhcp is set to 0 (FALSE). cfgNicGateway (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. This parameter is only configurable if the cfgNicUseDhcp parameter is set to 0 (FALSE). Legal Values A string representing a valid gateway IP address. For example: 192.168.0.1. Default 192.168.0.1 Description The gateway IP address used for static assignment of the RAC IP address. This property is only valid if cfgNicUseDhcp is set to 0 (FALSE). cfgNicUseDhcp (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. Legal Values 1 (TRUE) 0 (FALSE) Default 0 Description Specifies whether DHCP is used to assign the RAC IP address. If this property is set to 1 (TRUE), then the RAC IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are assigned from the DHCP server on the network. If this property is set to 0 (FALSE), the static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway is assigned from the cfgNicIpAddress, cfgNicNetmask, and cfgNicGateway properties. NOTE: If you are updating your system remotely, use the setniccfg command.
DRAC 5 Property Database Group and Object Definitions353 cfgNicSelection (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. Legal Values 0 (shared) 1 (shared with failover) 2 (dedicated) Default 2 Description Specifies the current mode of operation for the RAC network interface controller (NIC). Table B-1 describes the supported modes. cfgNicMacAddress (Read Only) Legal Values A string representing the RAC NIC MAC address. Default The current MAC address of the RAC NIC. For example, 00:12:67:52:51:A3. Table B-1. cfgNicSelection Supported Modes Mode Description Shared Used if the host server integrated NIC is shared with the RAC on the host server. This mode enables configurations to use the same IP address on the host server and the RAC for common accessibility on the network. Shared with Failover Enables teaming capabilities between host server integrated network interface controllers. Dedicated Specifies that the RAC NIC is used as the dedicated NIC for remote accessibility.
354DRAC 5 Property Database Group and Object Definitions Description The RAC NIC MAC address. cfgNicVLanEnable (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. Legal Values 1 (TRUE) 0 (FALSE) Default 0 Description Enables or disables the VLAN capabilities of the RAC/BMC. cfgNicVLanId (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. Legal Values 0 – 4094 Default 0 Description Specifies the VLAN ID for the network VLAN configuration. This property is only valid if cfgNicVLanEnable is set to 1 (enabled). cfgNicVLanPriority (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. Legal Values 0 – 7
DRAC 5 Property Database Group and Object Definitions355 Default 0 Description Specifies the VLAN Priority for the network VLAN configuration. This property is only valid if cfgNicVLanEnable is set to 1 (enabled). cfgRemoteHosts This group provides properties that allow configuration of various remote components, which include the SMTP server for e-mail alerts and TFTP server IP addresses for firmware updates. cfgRhostsSmtpServerIpAddr (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. Legal Values A string representing a valid SMTP server IP address. For example, 192.168.0.55. Default 0.0.0.0 Description The IP address of the network SMTP server. The SMTP server transmits e-mail alerts from the RAC if the alerts are configured and enabled. cfgRhostsFwUpdateTftpEnable (Read/Write) NOTE: To modify this property, you must have Configure DRAC 5 permission. Legal Values 1 (TRUE) 0 (FALSE)

Legal Values String. Maximum length = 255. Default Description Specifies TFTP path where the RAC firmware image file exists on the TFTP server. The TFTP path is relative to the TFTP root path on the TFTP server. NOTE: The server may still require you to specify the drive (for example, C).
