DRAC card setup, How to configure ip in router and server

Hi all, I am new to forum and networking. I brought new poweredge 2950 for my new startup. First thing i am trying to do is setup drac card so i can work remotly and get professional help if needed later once system is running.

 

Looks like only thing i need is ip address in server to setup drac card.

My problem is as my server is behind router so it get's ip address assigned by switch. So i guess i will need some kind of setup done in router so communication for drac will get redirected to drac card. Can some one please help me with this setup? What i need to redirect from router? what information i  need to enter in drac setup page.

 

I have dlink wireless n router

 

Please let me know if any addinal information can help question.

 

Thanks

    Thanks for posting!  The DRAC card is not intended for working remotely, it is an out of band management card that is useful for troubleshooting and fixing problems when other methods are not available.  The DRAC has its own IP address, so you just need to configure that to start using it.

     

    Look at the Enterprise Tutorial Page for DRAC setup information:  http://support.dell.com/enterprise_videos

     

    Also read the DRAC documentation:
