Obtaining a Static IP Address for Ethernet Management

A Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch user must configure a static IP Address for Ethernet Management. A
Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch user can configure a static IP address and connect to a serial console
port only if a DHCP server is not available.
To configure a static IP address, you must connect the serial console port to a PC serial for access to the
server switch.
Before you configure the switch, ensure that the unit is connected properly. This section describes how
to attach a serial console cable to a PC. The serial console port, located on the rear panel of the
Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches, is shown in
