Configuring Static IP Addressing
There are two methods of assigning static IP addresses to the Ethernet ports of a
controller:
■The serial port interface (see “Using the Serial Port Interface to Assign IP
Addresses” on page 75)
■The Common Array Manager (see the Sun StorageTekCommon Array Manager
Software Installation Guide)
Note – It is recommended that you use the serial port interface to assign IP
addresses to the Ethernet port of each controller,if possible.

Using the Serial Port Interface to Assign IP Addresses

Youcan use the serial port interface on a controller to set the IP address for the
Ethernet port on the controller.
Touse the serial port interface to configure IP addressing for the Ethernet port of
each controller,you must complete the tasks described in the following sections:
■“ToConnect a Terminal to the Serial Port” on page 75
■“ToSet Up the Terminal Emulation Program” on page 76
■“ToEstablish a Connection With the Serial Port” on page 77
■“ToConfigure the IP Addresses” on page 78

▼To Connect a Terminalto the Serial Port

Youwill establish a serial connection to each controller, Controller A and Controller
B. Twomini-DIN to RJ45 serial port cables are supplied with each controller tray.
