ipAddrSet

ipAddrSet
Sets the IP address details for a switch, a control processor (CP), an intelligent blade processor
(BP), or a standalone application processor (AP).
Synopsis ipaddrset
ipaddrset [-cp number | -sw number]
ipaddrset [-ipv6 ] [--add x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n | --delete]
ipaddrset [-cp number | -sw number] [-ipv6 ] [--add x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n | --delete]
ipaddrset [-slot number] [-eth0 | -eth1] [--add x.x.x.x/n | --delete]
ipaddrset [-slot number] -gate [--add x.x.x.x | --delete]
Description Use this command to set the IP addresses on a switch, a CP, a BP, or a standalone AP. The
command supports an interactive mode, which supports only IPv4 addresses, and an alternate
interface for managing IP address details, including IPv6 addresses, through command line
options. Usage depends on the type of IP address and on the platform on which the command is
run. Some of the platform and IP address specific features of the command are outlined below. For
complete details, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator Guide.
To set IP addresses interactively (IPv4 only):
1. On enterprise-class platforms, if no option is provided, the command prints the usage. To set
2. On most standalone platforms (with the exception of the AP7600), ipAddrSet runs interactively
To set IP Addresses using the command line interface:
The command accepts the -ipv6 command line syntax with the --add or--delete option on all
platforms that support IPv6 addresses. The --add option configures a single static IPv6 address
and prefix for the specified managed entity (switch, CP, BP, or AP). The --delete option deletes a
static IPv6 address and prefix for the specified managed entity. On enterprise-class platforms, the
command can be executed only on the active CP.
1. When using the command line syntax to add or delete IPv6 addresses, the managed entity is

the CP IPv4 address use the -cp option; to set the switch IP address use the -sw option. When
setting the switch, the command prompts for the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnetmask,
Fibre Channel IP address, and Fibre Channel subnetmask. When setting the CP, the command
prompts for the host name, Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnetmask, and Gateway IP
address. Valid switch and CP numbers depend on the platform on which the command is run.
The command must be executed on the active CP.
if invoked without operands. The command prompts for the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet
subnetmask, Fibre Channel IP address, Fibre Channel subnetmask and gateway IP address. In
addition, the command prompts for a specification of whether DHCP should be used to acquire
the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnetmask and Gateway IP address. Valid entries are "On"
to enable DHCP and "Off" to disable it. When DHCP is enabled, any user-entered Ethernet IP
address, Ethernet subnetmask or Gateway IP address is ignored.
identified only on enterprise-class platforms. To set the CP IPv6 address use the -cp option; to
set the switch IP address use the -sw option.
platforms, the implied entity is the single managed entity supported by the platform and must
be left unspecified.
