Description A string containing the current product build version. idRacName (Read Only) Legal Values String of up to 15 ASCII characters. Default DRAC 5 Description A user assigned name to identify this controller. idRacType (Read Only) Default 6 Description Identifies the remote access controller type as the DRAC 5. cfgLanNetworking This group contains parameters to configure the DRAC 5 NIC. One instance of the group is allowed. All changes/updates to the objects in this group will require the DRAC 5 NIC to be reset, which may cause a brief loss in connectivity. Objects that change the DRAC 5 NIC IP address settings will close all active user sessions and require users to reconnect using the updated IP address settings.

DRAC 5 Property Database Group and Object Definitions335 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.

DRAC 5 Property Database Group and Object Definitions337 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.
