Modify the SAN I/O Module IP address
By default, the IP address for the SAN I/O Module is configured as 10.77.77.77 with a default
Ethernet subnetmask of 255.255.255.0.
Reset the IP address using three methods. If the IP values are set using either of these methods,
the IP values are stored on the SAN I/O Module.
•SAN I/O Module Command Line Interface (CLI).
•Blade Server Enclosure CMC CLI.
•Blade Server Enclosure CMC graphical user interface (GUI).
ATTENTION
Do not connect the SAN I/O Module to the internal network until the IP address is correctly set for
your Ethernet network requirements.
NOTE
It is recommended that you set the IP address using the Blade Server Enclosure CMC GUI
application because this enables centralized management of the SAN I/O Module.

Using the SAN I/O Module CLI to set the IP address

Use the following tasks to change the IP address on the SAN I/O Module using the Module’s CLI.

Task 1: Establish a terminal session with the SAN I/O Module

Use these steps to establish a terminal emulation session between the SAN I/O Module and a
Blade Server Enclosure management workstation used for managing the I/O Module. Once this
session is established, you can log into the Module and use its CLI commands to manage the
module.
1. Connect a serial cable between the serial console port on the SAN I/O Module and a Blade
Server Enclosure management workstation that can establish a terminal emulation session
with the SAN I/O Module. For instructions, refer to Configuration Guide for your Blade Server
enclosure.
2. Disable any serial communication programs that are running on the workstation.
3. Using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC or TERM in a LINUX or
UNIX environment), establish a terminal session to the SAN I/O Module from the management
workstation. You will use thi s connectio n if you want to reset the mo dule’s IP ad dress using CLI
commands and perform other configuration tasks.
For Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP or NT
a. Click Start and select Programs -> Accessories -> Communications.
b. Select Hyperterminal and enter a name for the connection.
