Initial Network Configuration; Setting Static Ips On Ports - Western Digital OpenFlex Data24 DCS0010 User Manual

User Guide
5.2 Initial Network Configuration
This section outlines the behavior of the OpenFlex Data24 when it is initially connected to a network. The
default configuration for the RJ45 management ports and the QSFP28 data ports will be to initially attempt
a network configuration using DHCP. If the network has been configured with a DHCP server to perform
network discovery, the platform will be configured with the settings generated by the DHCP server.
If there is no DHCP server available on the network to configure the platform, the enclosure manager (EM)
will fall back to an mDNS confugration and assign addresses to IOMs A and B, as well as to all 6 AICs, for
a total of 8 link local addresses. The EM will also configure a name and ID for the platform itself. This base
mDNS configuration will allow local access through the RJ45 management port to a direct-connect host or
laptop. Connecting in this way will allow users to apply their own desired network settings.
Enclosure ID and Link Local Address Patterns and Examples
The following table defines the design patterns that can be used to understand the addresses that are
configured by mDNS.

5.3 Setting Static IPs on Ports
Before you begin: This procedure assumes the IOM IP addresses are known.
By default, the OpenFlex Data24 is set to use DHCP to assign IPv4 addresses to all of the adapter ports. This
procedure shows how to use the OCAPI to set all of the adapter ports to static IP addresses. All examples
will use cURL.
