Remote Access Problems with DRAC 5 on Dell PowerEdge 1950
- by Darin Peterson
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?
