Configuring the IP address and subnet mask
You may use any of three methods to configure the SCPS IP address and subnet
mask: BootP, Telnet Command Line Interface (CLI) or the serial CLI on port 1.
These methods work as documented on most Windows and UNIX systems;
however, the actual implementation on your system may differ from the instructions
provided. Refer to your system administrator guide.
To con fi gure the IP address and subnet mask using BootP:
1. Ensure that there is a BootP server on your network that is confi gured to
correctly respond to a BootP request from the SCPS. BootP servers require the
Ethernet MAC address of network devices. The SCPS Ethernet MAC address is
located on the back panel above the LAN connector. See your BootP server’s
system administrator guide for information about confi guring the BootP server.
2. After you have confi gured your network’s BootP server with the SCPS
Ethernet MAC address, IP address and subnet mask, restore power to the
SCPS and wait for the ONLINE LED to illuminate. Once this occurs, the
SCPS has completed the BootP protocol, obtained its IP address and subnet
mask and stored these in FLASH.
3. You may verify that the BootP process was successful with a ping command,
which tests network connectivity. The ping command is entered as:
ping <ip_address>
For example, the following command tests the network connectivity of an SCPS
with the IP address 192.168.0.5.
ping 192.168.0.5
4. If the SCPS completes the BootP successfully, you will see a display similar to
the following.
Pinging 192.168.0.5 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
If the SCPS did not successfully obtain its IP address with the BootP protocol,
you will see a display similar to the following.
Pinging 192.168.0.5 with 32 bytes of data:
