SANRAD V-Switch manual Configuring the Network Ports, Ip config set, 212.199.43.56, Act

Each network port must be located on a separate subnet.

Each network port can have more than one IP address.

Configuring the Network Ports

To connect the V-Switch to the network you need to assign IP parameters to each 1Gb Ethernet network port connected to a network. Each network port must be located on a separate subnet. Each network port can have more than one IP address. Use the CLI command ip config set to assign IP parameters. Once configured, each network port will provide an access point for hosts to the storage network. Once access is gained, a host will be able to read from and/or write into the storage network.

ip config set

You need to define three parameters to configure each network port:

Executing this command on the same network port with a different IP address will not reset the network port address. It will add another IP address to the network port

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-ip	IP ADDRESS	IP ADDRESS	MANDATORY	212.199.43.56
		ASSIGNING TO THE
		INTERFACE PORT
-if	INTERFACE ALIAS	NETWORK	MANDATORY	eth1
	OR NAME	INTERFACE PORT	ETH1, ETH2,
			ETH3
-im	IP MASK	IP NET MASK	OPTIONAL
			DEFAULT:
			255.255.255.0
-act	ACTIVITY	IF IP ADDRESS IS	OPTIONAL	1
		ACTIVE TO EXPOSE	DEFAULT: 1
		VOLUMES. USE	(ACTIVE)
		INACTIVE STATUS	2 (INACTIVE)
		TO ALLOW
		FAILOVER.

For regular port activity, use the default active port setting. The inactive port setting is used when configuring a V-Switch cluster. If you are configuring a V-Switch cluster, each IP address must be configured on both V-Switches in the V-Switch cluster. For more information on V-Switch clusters, see “Introduction to V-Switch Clusters,” page 72.

Example:

The IP address 212.199.43.56 is assigned to the 1 Gb Ethernet port Eth1.

ip config set –ip 212.199.43.56 –if eth1 –act 1
