Setting a Static IP Address
To set a static IP address for the device, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the device as admin.
2. Use the
ipaddrset
command to set the Ethernet IP address.
•
If you use an IPv4 address, enter the IP address in dotted-decimal notation as prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
•
If you use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated notation as prompted.
device:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted (IPv4 format shown).
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Gateway IP Address: [192.168.74.1]
4. Enter

to disable DHCP when prompted.

Setting the Date and Time
The date and time settings are used for event logging, error detection, and troubleshooting. However, device operation
does not depend on the date and time; a device with an incorrect date or time value still functions properly.
You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) device to that of an
external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Perform the following steps to set the date and time:
1. Log on to the device as admin.
2. Enter the
date
[
"
new-date
"
] command at the command line.
The
"
new-date
"
variable specifies the new date and time and is enclosed in double quotation marks. This variable
is optional; if omitted, the current date and time are displayed. The date and time are specified as a string in
mmddhhmmyy
format:
•
mm
: Specifies the month. Valid values are 01 to 12.
•
dd
: Specifies the date. Valid values are 01 to 31.
•
hh
: Specifies the hour. Valid values are 00 to 23.
•
mm
: Specifies the minutes. Valid values are 00 to 59.
•
yy
: Specifies the year. Valid values are 00 to 37 and 70 to 99. Year values from 70 to 99 are interpreted as 1970 to
1999; year values from 00 to 37 are interpreted as 2000 to 2037.
