# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1
controller b
8. Enter the following command to verify the new IP addresses:
show network-parameters
Network parameters, including the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, are displayed for
each controller.
9. Use the
ping
command to verify connectivity to the gateway address.
For example:
# ping 192.168.0.1
Info: Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 4 packets.
Success: Command completed successfully. - The remote computer responded with 4
packets.(2011-12-19 10:20:37)
10. In the host computer's command window, type the following command to verify connectivity, first for
controller A and then for controller B:
ping controller-
IP-address
If you cannot access your system for at least three minutes after changing the IP address, you might
need to restart the MC(s) using the serial CLI.
When you restart an MC, communication with it is temporarily lost until it successfully restarts.
Enter the following command to restart the MC in both controllers:
11. When you are done using the CLI, exit the emulator.
12. Retain the IP addresses (recorded in step 1) for accessing and managing the controllers using either
the Disk Storage Management Utility or the CLI.
Note:
Using HyperTerminal with the CLI on a Microsoft Windows host:
On a host computer connected to a controller module’s mini-USB CLI port, incorrect command
syntax in a HyperTerminal session can cause the CLI to hang. To avoid this problem, use correct
syntax, use a different terminal emulator, or connect to the CLI using Telnet rather than the mini-
USB cable.
Be sure to close the HyperTerminal session before shutting down the controller or restarting its
MC. Otherwise, the host’s CPU cycles may rise unacceptably.
If communication with the CLI is disrupted when using an out-of-band cable connection, communication can
sometimes be restored by disconnecting and reattaching the mini-USB CLI cable as shown in Figure 110 on
page 119.
