Today I received my first Dell PowerEdge 1950 server with a DRAC 5 card. On my local network I have static configurations on my Linux systems using this for instance:
iface eth0 inet static
- address 192.168.1.210
- netmask 255.255.255.0
- network 192.168.1.0
- broadcast 192.168.1.255
- gateway 192.168.1.1
- dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
For the DRAC card, I configured the LAN like this:
- address 192.168.1.215
- netmask 255.255.255.0
- gateway 192.168.1.1
For the advanced LAN settings I used
- dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
I've tried many different IP addresses, but cannot communicate with the card. Is there anyone who might know if I have configuration issues, or maybe if the card might be bad?
