platform bmc set netmask 255.255.255.0
platform bmc set gateway 0.0.0.0
NOTE: Dell recommends setting the BMC IP addresses of the storage controllers in
sequential order. Using the BMC IP address of the top storage controller, set the BMC IP
address of the bottom storage controller to the next IP address in sequence.

NOTE: The storage controller might take several minutes to completely boot up. During this
time, there are long pauses that might make the storage controller appear to be idle. However,
the long pauses are part of the normal boot process. When the storage controller finishes
booting up, the following message is displayed in the terminal emulator: All subsystems
initialized successfully.
CAUTION: As the storage controller boots up, a login prompt may appear in the terminal
emulator. Do not log in to the storage controller with the Admin account at this time.
Logging in with Admin account before the storage controller subsystems are fully initialized
may cause the Admin account to become locked.
