The default IP addresses and host names for the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S 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)
ATTENTION
Resetting an IP address while the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S has active IP traffic or has management
and monitoring tools running, such as DCFM, Fabric Watch, and SNMP, can cause traffic to be
