IP Address Configuration
To configure the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance, you must have an IP address
for the system. You can assign an IP address in one of two ways:
Automatic IP address assignment through a Dynamic Host Configuration
■
Protocol (DHCP) server
Manual IP address assignment through the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel
■
on the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance
Automatic (DHCP) IP Address Configuration
To dynamically acquire an IP address through a DHCP server, you must either have
an existing DHCP server on the network or have a DHCP relay agent on the
network with an accessible DHCP server on another network. If a DHCP server is
not available, you must input the IP address through the LCD panel on the front
panel of the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance.
Note – If your system uses DHCP to assign Domain Name System (DNS) and
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) as well as IP and gateway addresses, the
corresponding fields in the wizard and Web Administrator screens are dynamically
configured. Verify the information when it is presented by the wizard during system
configuration.
If your system supports DHCP, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP
address when the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance boots for the first time.
Note – To avoid waiting for DHCP discovery, during the boot sequence when the
LCD panel displays "DHCP Discovery NIC X", you can press any key on the LCD
panel and confirm the "Abort DHCP?" message by pressing the ENTER button on
the panel. Then you can manually set the static IP address using the following
instructions.

To Configure the IP Address Manually
If a DHCP server is not available, you must configure the IP address using the LCD
panel.
1. Turn on the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Appliance and wait for the boot sequence
to complete. The LCD panel displays the following:
A: Set Static IP
B: Retry DHCP
