Configuring an IP Address for the Gateway
Configuring an IP Address for the Gateway
To assign a static IP address to a gateway installed on your hardware appliance, configure the IP address
from the local console of that gateway. Your applications (such as your NFS or SMB client, your iSCSI
initiator, and so on) connect to this IP address. You can access the gateway local console from the
hardware appliance console.
To configure an IP address on your appliance to work with applications
1. On the hardware console, choose
Open Service Console
to open a login screen for the gateway local
console.
2. Enter the localhost
login
password, and then press
Enter
.
For File Gateway the default account is
admin
and the default password is
password
. For Tape
Gateway and Volume Gateway the default account is
sguser
the default password is
sgpassword
.
3. Change the default password. Choose
Actions
then
Set Local Password
and enter your new
credentials in the
Set Local Password
dialog box.
4. (Optional) Configure your proxy settings. See
the section called “Setting the Local Console Password
from the Storage Gateway Console” (p. 253)
for instructions.
5. Navigate to the Network Settings page of the gateway local console as shown following.
6. Type
2
to go to the
Network Configuration
page shown following.
7. Configure a static or DHCP IP address for the network port on your hardware appliance to present a
file, volume, and tape gateway for applications. This IP address must be on the same subnet as the
IP address used during hardware appliance activation.
