Configuring the IP addresses

The device requires three IP addresses, which are configured using the
for both CP blades (CP0 and CP1) and for the chassis management IP (shown as SWITCH under the
command) in the device.
NOTE
The default IP addresses and host names for the device are:
•
10.77.77.75 / CP0 (the CP blade in slot 4 at the time of configuration)
•
10.77.77.74 / CP1 (the CP blade in slot 5 at the time of configuration)
NOTE
Resetting an IP address while the device has active IP traffic or has management and monitoring tools running,
such as DCFM, Fabric Watch, and SNMP, can cause traffic to be interrupted or stopped.
Complete the following steps to set the IP addresses for the device.
1. Log in to the active CP as admin using the serial cable connection.
2. Set up the device IP address by entering the
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -chassis
Enter the information at the prompts. Specify the -chassis IP address. The -sw 0 IP address is not valid on this
chassis.
NOTE
The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the device. External IPs
must not use these addresses.
3. Set up the CP0 IP address by entering the
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 0
Enter the information at the prompts.
4. Set up the CP1 IP address by entering the
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 1
Enter the information at the prompts.
