Configuring Library Security; Changing Internal Ip Network Addressing - Quantum Scalar i6000 Installation Manual

Configuring Library Security

You can change the internal IP address of the library and other library security settings, including enabling
or disabling network services, enabling or disabling remote access to the library, setting up firewall access
for server callbacks to remote clients, and enabling or disabling SNMP or SMI-S access.

Changing Internal IP Network Addressing

The default internal network subnet setting for the Scalar i6000 is 10.10.X.X. Attaching the library to a
10.10.X.X external network can cause library and network problems. The Change Internal IP dialog box
enables you to change the library's internal IP addressing so that conflicts do not occur. This dialog box is
accessible only from the library's touch screen. You must be logged in as a Service user to access this
feature.
Keep in mind the following considerations:
• You only need to change the default internal IP setting if your external network is 10.10.X.X.
• Do not set up internal IP addressing to conflict with existing external IP addressing. If you set up the
same IP subnet for both the internal and external IP networks (for example, 10.10.X.X), the library
will become unusable.
• If you change the internal IP addressing, and then later a user opens the Network Configuration
dialog box (Setup→ Network Configuration) to assign a static IP address to the library that
conflicts with the internal network, the assignment request will fail and the library will issue a ticket.
• If you change the internal IP addressing, and if Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is
enabled and DHCP assigns to the library an IP address that conflicts with the internal network,
address conflicts could occur between internal library devices and external customer devices and
the library will issue a ticket.
1 Log on as the service user.
2 Click Service→ Change Internal IP.
The Change Internal IP dialog box appears.
By default, the internal IP subnet address that is automatically selected on this dialog box is not the one
to which your internal network is currently set. In the example shown, the current internal network IP
setting is 10.10.X.X, and the automatic selection by default is 10.20.X.X. If this selection is accepted,
the internal IP setting will change to 10.20.X.X.
