Chapter 3: ASUS Storage Setup
Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address
When you setup your ASUS Storage, you have the option of:
•
Enabling DHCP and letting your DHCP server assign the IP address to the
ASUS Storage
’s management port.
•
Specifying a static IP address for the ASUS Storage
’s management port.
If you choose to enable DHCP, have your Network Administrator dedicate an IP
address for the ASUS Storage, linked to the ASUS Storage
’s MAC address. This
action will prevent the DHCP server from assigning a new IP address when the
ASUS Storage restarts, with the result that users can no longer log in.
To access the MAC address for ASUS Storage
’s management port:
1. At the administrator@cli> prompt, type menu and press Enter.
The CLU main menu appears.
2. In the CLU Main Menu, highlight Network Management and press Enter,
then highlight the management port and press Enter
Figure 1. Viewing the management port
