IDRAC 7 License Info
If you don't have an enterprise license, you can't use the dedicated iDRAC port. You have to set the iDRAC to use existing network card LOM ports. Once you configured the iDRAC with the enterprise or enterprise trial license, you can use the dedicated port on the module that you have purchased.
