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?
