Methods for Setting
the IP Address
You can set the IP address using one of these methods, depending on your
network operating environment:
Note:
When the IP address has been successfully assigned to your StorPoint CD,
you can set the
ProtectIP
parameter to
yes
in order to avoid accidental or
malicious changing of the IP address. With this configuration, the StorPoint
CD will no longer accept a new IP address using the Web browser or ARP
method. You will find the
ProtectIP
parameter under the
[IP]
section in the
config.ini
file located in the
System/ServerProperties
folder. Use a
text editor to edit the file.
Web Browser
In most Windows environments, you can use a standard Web browser, e.g. Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator, to set the IP address.
Follow these steps:
1. Start your Web browser.
2. In the location/address field, enter the following:
Note:
On a Class C network, you can enter simply
where
<xxxxxx>
are the last six digits of the StorPoint CD serial number
and
<ip4>
is the last group of the desired IP address.
