Consult your network administrator for the correct IP assignment type. Use the Select button to select the
wanted method of IP assignment. If you choose the Eth0 Config , DHCP or None option, you must
confirm the selection with the ↓ button.
Configuring a static IP address
If you configure the system with a static IP address, you must provide the IP address, subnet mask, and
possibly a gateway address.
About this task
To configure the address, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. After you choose the Static IP option, you are prompted to enter an address. Use the ↑ and ↓ buttons
to move the cursor. Press Select to cycle through the numbers 0 through 9. You can cancel your
current changes at anytime by pressing the
Menu button and following the dialog.
2. After you finish entering the IP address, scroll the cursor off the end of the address. This action brings
up the
Subnet Mask screen.
3.
Using the same procedure as entering the IP address, enter the subnet mask.
4. The final value that you must enter is the Ethernet gateway. If the system is on a private network and
this value is not needed, enter
0.0.0.0
on the next screen and then press any key to dismiss this
message. Otherwise, enter the gateway IP address.
5. After you enter all the necessary values, you can review them, apply, edit, or cancel your changes
through the Review Configuration pane.
6. To apply your changes, select the Apply new settings option. The changes are then applied and the
network is automatically restarted. The final pane displays the assigned IP address.
Results
Note:
Because you established a static IP address rather than using DHCP, there is no automatic
discovery of the network DNS server. To enter your network's DNS server information, you can use the
web management interface. The DNS settings are configured using the Network node in the system tree.
Configuring DHCP
Your storage system is preconfigured to use DHCP as its IP address method. To configure your DHCP
server, you might need to know the hardware MAC address of the storage system.
About this task
To obtain the MAC address and to set up your system to use DHCP, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1.
From the
Net Config
submenu, select
Show Current
. This action displays information for the
management controller.
2. Use the
↓
button to scroll to the section that displays the information for the Ethernet device you
want. The MAC address is at the bottom of this section and is displayed as six octets, such as
a2:78:90:f7:01:88
. Use this value to configure your DHCP server.
