where you could have a problem is if there are multiple idracs on the same layer 2 vlan with that same default IP of 192.168.0.120/24 then your going to have issues. If your saying this idrac is connected to a switch, and that switch port is in say vlan 100, as long as your on vlan 100 you could connect to the IP of the drac if you put yourself on that same layer 3 network from anywhere else on the network as long as your on the same layer 2 vlan.

These idracs should all be configured before they are connected to the network. Then there really is no way to get to it remotely. If the idracs info does not match the network of that vlan. How would you change that remotely if you can not get to it? So the idrac is connected to a switch, this switch port would be in a vlan. That is the idracs default config? And you want to change it to what? I would assume all of your idracs are on some infrastructure vlan that all the idracs of all the different servers are on?

It'd match the S/N with the systems S/N, set the information, and anything else I'd need set, such as users and passwords. My goal is to be able to have myself or the Systems Engineer run a script with the IPs, Subnet, and Gateway information in a csv with a column for Serial Numbers. I can double check the next time I do the configurations. I wasn't sure which category this would fall under, it's networking and scripting. I have thought about a USBx.0 to Ethernet adapter, and leaving that adapter with the default IP info for Dell. I have a script to run without the networking portion, it's just obnoxious to run because it requires me to plug a cable into a device one at a time, and change my local adapter to the default information. My networking knowledge is very limited, I know enough to get around, but I don't know enough about Enterprise switches, such as Nexus6001s, FEXs 2248, 2232, etc. I'm trying to figure out a way to configure the iDRAC remotely, even if I have to plug a single cable into a switch, it still makes it easier trying to power cycle servers.

I'm working on a script to allow the Deployment Team I work with, to set IP Address information faster using the RACAdmin tool from Dell. I'm not sure if I've posted about this before, my apologies if I have.
