6. If you selected
Static
, follow these steps to configure the Admin Network:
a. Enter the static IPv4 address, using CIDR notation, for Management Port 1 on the appliance.
Management Port 1 is the left of the two 1-GbE RJ45 ports on the right end of the appliance.
b. Enter the gateway.
If your network does not have a gateway, re-enter the same static IPv4 address.
c. If you want to use jumbo frames, change the MTU field to a value suitable for jumbo frames, such as
9000. Otherwise, keep the default value of 1500.
The MTU value of the network must match the value configured on the switch port the
node is connected to. Otherwise, network performance issues or packet loss might
occur.
d. Click
Save
.
When you change the IP address, the gateway and list of subnets might also change.
If you lose your connection to the StorageGRID Appliance Installer, re-enter the URL using the new
static IP address you just assigned. For example,
https://
services_appliance
:8443
