Configuring Network Addresses
The ED-64M is delivered with the following default network
addresses:
◆
MAC address — The media access control (MAC) address is
programmed into flash memory on the Control Processor (CTP)
at the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each
director/switch, and should not be changed.
◆
IP address — The IP address is 10.xxx.yyy.zzz, where:
• xxx is the machine address and programmed into flash
memory on the CTP card at the time of manufacture.
• yyy is the 5th byte of the MAC address.
• zzz is the 6th byte of the MAC address.
If multiple directors/switches are installed on the same LAN,
each director/switch (and the Connectrix Service Processor) must
have a unique IP address. One director/switch can use the
default address, but the addresses of the remaining
directors/switches must be changed.
If multiple directors/switches, other managed products, and the
Connectrix Service Processor are delivered in an EMC EC1200 cabinet, all
devices are configured with unique IP addresses that do not require
change. The addresses require change only if multiple equipment
cabinets are LAN-connected.
◆
Subnet mask — The default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the
director is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more
routers, the address may require change.
◆
Gateway address — The default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the
director is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection
through a router, the address does not require change. If the
switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the
gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate
intranet’s local router.
Verify the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network
administrator. If one director (or one EC-1200 cabinet) is installed on
a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not have to be changed.
