Setting Static Ethernet Addresses - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

2. Issue the ipAddrShow command:
200E:admin> ipaddrshow
SWITCH
Ethernet IP Address: 102.108.153.238
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Fibre Channel IP Address: none
Fibre Channel Subnetmask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway IP Address: 102.108.153.1
DHCP: Off
IPv6 Autoconfiguration Enabled: No
Local IPv6 Addresses:
static 1080::9:800:400c:416a/64
If the Ethernet IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are displayed, the network interface is
configured. Verify that the information is correct. If DHCP is enabled, the network interface information
was acquired from the DHCP server.
NOTE: You can use either IPv4 or IPv6 with a classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) block notation to set
up your IP addresses.

Setting static Ethernet addresses

Use static Ethernet network interface addresses on HP StorageWorks 2/128, 4/256 SAN Director, DC
Director models, and in environments where DHCP service is not available. To use static addresses for the
Ethernet interface, you must first disable DHCP. You may enter static Ethernet information and disable
DHCP at the same time. See
If you choose not to use DHCP or specify an IP address for your switch Ethernet interface, you can do so by
entering none or 0.0.0.0 in the Ethernet IP address field.
IMPORTANT:
On the
iSCSI Director
interfaces to two different subnets, or if two subnets are not present, configure one of the interfaces and
leave the other unconfigured. Otherwise the following message will show up and also blade status may go
into a faulty state after a reboot.
Neighbor table overflow.
print: 54 messages suppressed
To set static addresses for the Ethernet network interface:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Issue the ipaddrset command to set the IPv4 address:
switch:admin> ipaddrset
Ethernet IP Address [192.168.74.102]:
Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.255.0]:
Fibre Channel IP Address [220.220.220.2]:
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [255.255.0.0]:
Gateway IP Address [192.168.74.1]:
DHCP [OFF]: off
or to set an IPv6 address on a switch:
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
