Dell MD3200, MD3220 manual Discover the Storage Array Out-of-band Management Only

Step 1: Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-band Management Only)

Default Management IPv4 Port Settings

By default, the storage array management ports are set to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If the controller(s) on your storage array is unable to get IP configuration from a DHCP server, it times out after approximately three minutes and falls back to a default static IP address. The default IP configuration is:

Controller 0: IP: 192.168.128.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Controller 1: IP: 192.168.128.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

NOTE: No default gateway is set.

NOTE: If DHCP is not used, perform the initial configuration using the management station on the same physical subnet as the storage array. Additionally, during initial configuration, configure at least one network adapter on the same IP subnet as the storage array’s default management port (192.168.128.101 or 192.168.128.102). After initial configuration (management ports are configured using MD Storage Manager), you can change the management station’s IP address back to its previous settings.

Default Management IPv6 Port Settings

By default, the storage array management ports are enabled for IPv6 stateless auto-configuration. The ports are automatically configured to respond to their link local address and to a routable address if a configured IPv6 router is present on the network. To know the link local addresses of the management port, see the MAC label for the management port on the controller. For example:

1If the MAC Address is 00:08:74:AA:BB:CC, the link local address starts with FE80::02.

2Add the second and third bytes 08:74 MAC address to the prefix FE80::0208:744.

3Add FF:FE to obtain FE80::0200:08FF:FE.
