  • Page 41: Setting The Switch Ip Address

    /dev/ttya -9600 Setting the switch IP address You can configure the SAN48B-5 with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The SAN48B-5 supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

  • Page 42: Setting The Switch Date And Time

    Setting the switch date and time The SAN48B-5 maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. The date and time settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly.

  • Page 43: Setting The Date

    Local time synchronization You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to a maximum of eight external network time protocol (NTP) servers. To keep the time in your SAN current, it is recommended that the principal or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized with at least one external NTP server.

  • Page 44: Setting The Time Zone

    The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server every 64 seconds. switch:admin> tsclockserver LOCL switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131" switch:admin> tsclockserver 132.163.135.131 switch:admin> The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name: SAN48B-5 Installation, Service, and User Guide...
