iDRAC software — Enterprise and Express. iDRAC8 Enterprise,
iDRAC7 Enterprise, and iDRAC6 Enterprise include remote access
via web browser to the Virtual Console.

- DNS/DHCP Server 20 appliances support either iDRAC6 Express or iDRAC7 Express or iDRAC8 Enterprise*

- DNS/DHCP Server 100, and 100D appliances support iDRAC7 Enterprise.
Assign a static IPv4 or IPv6 address to the iDRAC port using
the iDRAC Configuration Utility directly on the appliance.
You can then use this IP address to connect to iDRAC
remotely via the iDRAC web interface.
Note: The iDRAC port can also be assigned
an IP address via DHCP. To view this address, check your DHCP
server status logs. If the iDRAC port doesn't have an IPv4
address, DHCP might have been disabled. Connect to the
Configuration Utility on your appliance to set a static IP
address or re-enable DHCP.
