8. Choose one of the following actions to verify the new IP address:
a. For IPv4, use the show network-parameters command.
b. For IPv6, use the show ipv6-network-parameters command.
The result for each controller includes the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
9. In the host computer's command window, first ping controller 0A and then controller 0B to verify connectivity.
ping <controller-IP-address>
10. When you are done using the CLI, exit the terminal emulator.
11. Retain the new IP addresses to access and manage the controllers by using either the SMC or the CLI.
If you cannot access your system after changing the IP address and waiting up to two or three minutes, your network
might require you to restart each affected Management Controller (MC) connected to the serial port. When you restart an
MC, you temporarily lose communication with the MC until it successfully returns to a ready state.
12. (Optional) To restart the management controller on both controllers, type the following command :
restart mc both
If you lose communication with the CLI while using an out-of-band cable connection, you can often restore communication by
disconnecting and reattaching the serial cable.
After you initially set a controller IP address and have a functioning connection, you can change it later using the SMC.
IMPORTANT Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage enclosure.

Storage Management Console usage

Seagate provides a user-friendly interface that provides the means to configure, monitor, and manage the storage system: the
Storage Management Console (SMC). Access it through a supported browser, then use it to complete initial configuration of
the management host, then monitor and manage the storage enclosure.
