Troubleshooting the Ethernet Management Port

The Ethernet management ports on the MD-series RAID controllers allow you to manage your storage
array via a separate management network from the host server data path (known as out-of-band
management).
Dell recommends always using out-of-band management to manage your storage array.

Locating the Management Port

Each RAID controller module contains a 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet management port. Whether you are
using SAS, iSCSI or Fibre Channel, the management port is located in same same position.
Figure 4 shows the management ports on an MD3600i-series iSCSI storage array.

Default Port IP Addresses

Each port on the storage array is assigned a default, factory-set IP address. Since DHCP is enabled by
default for the management ports at the factory (however, not for the host server ports), these
addresses should be discoverable when the storage array is initially powered on.
