NOTE

If you use an FTP/SCP/SFTP Server which is not configured on the same machine as the Management application, the Firmware Repository feature will not be available.

5.Complete the following steps on the Server IP Configuration screen.

NOTE

If the Management server or client has multiple Network Interface Cards and if any of these interfaces are not plugged in, you must disable them; otherwise, the following features do not work properly:

a.Select an address from the Server IP Configuration list.

b.Select an address from the Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list.

NOTE

If the “hostname” contains invalid characters, the host name does not display in the list. Valid characters include alphanumeric and dash (-) characters. The IP address is selected by default. If an IPv6 address is selected, server start up will fail.

If DNS is not configured for your network, do not select the ‘hostname’ option from either the Server IP Configuration or Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list. Selecting the ‘hostname’ option prevents clients and devices from communicating with the Server.

If you select a specific IP address from the Server IP Configuration screen and the selected IP address changes, you will not be able to connect to the server. To change the IP address, refer to “Configuring an explicit server IP address” on page 157.
