McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
6-8
•
If installing products and the management server on a public
LAN containing other devices, default network addresses may
require change to avoid address conflicts with existing devices.
For Intrepid-series directors, Sphereon-series fabric switches, and
Eclipse-series SAN routers, the IP address, gateway address, and
subnet mask are changed through a remote terminal connected to
the product's maintenance port.
For the management server, these addresses are changed through
the liquid crystal display (LCD) front panel. In addition, assign
and record a unique domain name system (DNS) name for the
management server and each director or switch.
•
Gateway addresses may need to be configured for managed
products and the management server if these devices connect to
the LAN through a router or other gateway device.
The Ethernet connections for the 1U management server, directors,
fabric switches, and SAN routers have the following default network
addresses:
•
1U Management server:
— Media access control (MAC) address is unique for each server
and managed product. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
format, where each xx is a hexadecimal pair.
— IP address of the private LAN connection (LAN 2)
is 10.1.1.1.
— IP address of the public LAN connection (LAN 1)
is 192.168.0.1.
— Subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
— Gateway address is blank.
•
Intrepid-series directors and Sphereon-series fabric switches:
— MAC address is unique for each product.
— Default IP address is 10.1.1.10.
— Subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
— Gateway address is 0.0.0.0.
