52Chapter 2 Initial setup

Real IP address

The Real IP address (RIP) is the Nortel SNAS 4050 device host IP address for network connectivity. The RIP is the IP address used for communication between Nortel SNAS 4050 devices in a cluster. The RIP must be unique on the network and must be within the same subnet as the MIP. In a two-armed configuration, the Nortel SNAS 4050 device has two RIPs: one for the client portal interface and one for the management traffic interface (see “One-armed and two-armed configurations” on page 40).

Note: Nortel recommends that you always use the MIP for remote configuration, even though it is possible to configure the Nortel SNAS 4050 device remotely by connecting to its RIP. Connecting to the MIP allows you to access all the Nortel SNAS 4050 devices in a cluster. The MIP is always up, even if one of the Nortel SNAS 4050 devices is down and therefore not reachable at its RIP.

Initial setup

The initial setup is a guided process that launches automatically the first time you power up the Nortel SNAS 4050 and log on. You must use a console connection in order to perform the initial setup.

•For a standalone Nortel SNAS 4050 or the first Nortel SNAS 4050 in a cluster, see “Setting up a single Nortel SNAS 4050 device or the first in a cluster” on page 52.

•To add a Nortel SNAS 4050 to a cluster, see “Adding a Nortel SNAS 4050 device to a cluster” on page 61.
