Compaq Switch 6, 230934-002 manual Setting the Gateway Address, Saving Modifications

Initial Configuration of the Switch

Setting the Gateway Address

Select option 4. Set gateway address in the Network Parameters menu to call up the Set Gateway Address menu, which is shown in Figure 2-5.

The gateway is a computer or Ethernet router that connects your segment of the Ethernet to other segments. This is also true if using telnet to communicate with the MSA Fabric Switch 6 over the Ethernet from systems on other segments. In both of these cases, the MSA Fabric Switch 6 will need the IP address of the gateway system in order for it to function. Direct questions about gateways to your local network administrator.

Saving Modifications

Though a number of parameters may have been set in the Network Parameters menu, none are permanent until the Save modifications and reset switch to activate option is chosen. This saves the parameters in non-volatile memory and reboots the switch with the new parameters in effect.
