6.8.4. Ethernet Configuration
Use this feature to set the controller Ethernet port configuration.
A customer doesn't need to create a reserved space on the arrays before the Ethernet port and HTTP
service are working. The firmware-embedded web browser-based RAID manager can access it from any
standard internet browser or from any host computer either directly connected or via a LAN or WAN
with no software or patches required.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that lets network administrators manage
centrally and automate the assignment of IP (Internet Protocol) configurations on a computer network.
When using the internet's set of protocols (TCP/IP), in order for a computer system to communicate to
another computer system, it needs a unique IP address. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered
manually at each computer system. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP
addresses from a central point. The purpose of DHCP is to provide the automatic (dynamic) allocation of
IP client configurations for a specific time period (called a lease period) and to eliminate the work
necessary to administer a large IP network.
To configure the RAID controller Ethernet port, move the cursor bar to the main menu and click on the
"System Controls" link. The "System Controls" menu will show all items. Move the cursor bar to the
"Ethernet Configuration" item, then select the desired function.
Note: If you configure the HTTP Port Number to 0, the HTTP console will be disable. You can go to
McBIOS to continues config the unit.
6.8.5. Alert By Mail Configuration
To configure the SAS RAID controller e-mail function, move the cursor bar to the main menu and click on
the "System Controls" link. The "System Controls" menu will show all items. Move the cursor bar to the
"Alert By Mail Configuration" item, then select the desired function. This function can only be set via
web-based configuration.
The firmware contains a SMTP manager monitoring all system events. Single or multiple user
notifications can be sent via "Plain English" e-mails with no software required. (Please refer to section
5.6 ArcHTTP Configuration of SMTP Server Configuration, Mail Address Configuration and Event
Notification Configuration.)
