Changing Network Setting

After completing login to the console of the FC Switch Module, change the network setting of the FC Switch Module according to the procedure below. (The network setting is always required.)

„Installing more than one FC Switch Module in a specific Blade Enclosure

(SIGMABLADE) without network setting may cause an unintentional error to occur due to a duplicate IP address. Always set the IP address of each FC Switch Module uniquely.

Setting at shipment from factory

The network setting is provided for an FC Switch Module as follows when it is shipped from the factory.

Ethernet IP Address

0.0.0.0

Ethernet Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

Fibre Channel IP Address

0.0.0.0

Fibre Channel Subnetmask

0.0.0.0

Gateway Address

0.0.0.0

„ After proper network setting enabling connection to a network, you can login to the console of FC Switch Modules via the network.

1.Type "ipaddrset" on the console screen.

„ Any commands used on the switch console should be specified with lowercase letters.

2.The following entry screen appears which asks you to enter the network information in the area from the Ethernet IP address to the gateway IP addresses. Type setting values and press the [Enter] key.

Contact your network administrator for details of the setting values.

„ IP addresses set for FC Switch Modules should be located on the same subnet for the IP address of the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE) in which the FC Switch Modules are installed.

„After the network setting is completed, the network-related daemon program

in the firmware of the FC Switch Module automatically restarts. The network setting is made effective just after the auto restart of the daemon program.

„To access to an FC Switch Module via the network, some settings may be required for the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE). For the settings, refer to the User’s Guide of the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE).

„Do not change "Fibre Channel IP Address" and "Fibre Channel Subnetmask" because they are unavailable.

„If some network setting is changed during system operation, an error message may appear on a log of the host connected to the FC Switch Module at restart of the network-related daemon program.
