After reading the following article, we found the issue was because the Informational setting under NIC Configuration was not selected. We had it configured under Link Status, which appears to be a little misleading, as we thought this would have been related to a ports status. [URL]
In testing the iDRAC Email Alerts, we noted when the NIC is disconnected, we receive the appropriate alert; however, when reconnected, the email alert sent has the exact same message stating "down". Reviewing the Lifecycle Log, we can see the correct status being logged. Has anyone else seen this? Why wouldn't the email state the link is "up"?
