Script:

#Variables (actually feed via json, the three lines below just show which value they have before the actual command) 
$server.iDRAC_StaticHostIP = "10.130.1.143"
$server.iDRAC_Gateway = "10.130.1.254"
$server.iDRAC_Subnet = "255.255.255.0"

# Set Network Configuration (IPv4,Gateway,Subnet)
   $iDRAC_settings= "IPv4.1.DHCPEnable:Disabled|IPv4.1.Address:$($server.iDRAC_StaticHostIP)|IPv4.1.Gateway:$($server.iDRAC_Gateway)|IPv4.1.Netmask:$($server.iDRAC_Subnet)"

Expected behavior:

Actual behavior:

Description: Somehow the gateway has a static value anywhere in the API of iDRAC. I checked my script and also the module i used, none of them set it to this value, which raises the question, where the entry comes from. DISCLAIMER: I had to manually create the screenshot with the value i saw, because at the time i faced it i did not thought it might be a iDRAC or REDFISH issue but more a issue with my own script.

I just deployed a second Dell Server (PowerEdge R7515), i faced a similar issue. The selected value for the Default Gateway was once again ignored and set to 192.168.0.1 Additionally the iDrac Static IP i selected was ignored and instead set to 192.168.0.120

Hi @lupuscon

For configuring iDRAC static IP address, gateway and subnet, you must use attributes:

IPv4Static.1.Address IPv4Static.1.Netmask IPv4Static.1.Gateway

See example below where i disabled DHCP and set static network for iDRAC, confirmed attributes were changed using RACADM.
