Network Configuration - HP N1200 - StorageWorks Network Storage Router User's And Service Manual

Network configuration

The Network screen is used to enter Ethernet configuration settings (see
Figure 16 Network screen
CAUTION: If this configuration is incorrectly set, processing difficulties may occur. Before changing this
setting, evaluate the need for the change and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the
network storage router configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.
Network menu options:
• Host name - to change the host name, enter an alphanumeric entry of one word, up to eight characters
in length. Select Submit.
• Ethernet Mode - the Ethernet Mode can be set to one of the following options, though 10/100Mps
(Auto-Neg.) is the default:
• 10 Mps Only
• 10/100Mps (Auto-Neg.) Default
• 100Mps (half duplex) Only
• 100Mps (full duplex) Only
NOTE: The Ethernet physical address is assigned by DHCP by default.
• IP Address - is the IP address of the network storage router.
• Subnet mask - is the IP subnet mask for the network storage router.
• IP Gateway - is the IP address of the gateway for the Ethernet network connected to the network
storage router.
• DHCP - enables or disables support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
• When DHCP is enabled, the network storage router requests a dynamic IP address from a DHCP
server on the Ethernet network. The network storage router must be rebooted before an IP address
is requested from the DHCP server. After the network storage router is rebooted, the HTTP session
must be restarted. The IP address is different from the former non-DHCP IP address. You can now
use the serial interface to obtain the new IP address (see
36 Visual manager user interface
Figure 16).
