Viewing host information

To view the host number and IP address for each Nortel SNAS 4050 device in the cluster, use the /cfg/sys/host <host ID>/cur command.

Configuring host interfaces using the CLI

The default IP interface on the Nortel SNAS 4050 host is Interface 1. You can create additional interfaces and specify the ports to be assigned to each interface. If you assign more than one port to an interface, you can choose whether the ports will operate in failover or trunking mode.

You can create a maximum of four interfaces on each Nortel SNAS 4050 host.

To configure an IP interface and the assignment of physical ports on a particular Nortel SNAS 4050 host, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/host <host ID>/interface <interface ID>

where interface ID is an integer in the range 1 to 252 that uniquely identifies the interface on the Nortel SNAS 4050 host. To configure a new interface, enter an unused interface ID number. To change the configuration of an existing interface, enter the applicable interface ID number.

The Host Interface menu displays.

The Host Interface menu includes the following options:

/cfg/sys/host #/interface <interface ID>

followed by:

ip <IPaddr>	Sets the network address for the interface. (For
	Interface 1, the network address is the RIP.)
netmask <mask>	Sets the subnet mask for the interface.
