How to display network interface settings

If an IP address has not been assigned to the network interface (Ethernet), you must connect to the Fabric
OS CLI using a console session on the serial port, see
Otherwise, connect using SSH.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the ipAddrShow command.
FD21:admin> ipaddrshow
SWITCH
Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.78.158
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Fibre Channel IP Address: 220.220.220.23
Fibre Channel Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address: 192.168.78.1
DHCP: On
If the Ethernet IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are displayed, then 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.

Static Ethernet addressing summary

Use static Ethernet network interface addresses on SAN Director 2/128 and 4/256 SAN 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.
If you choose not use DHCP or to 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.
CAUTION: The use of IP address 0.0.0.0 is not supported in pre-Fabric OS 5.2.x fabrics.
Fabric OS beginning with 2.6.0, 3.1.0, and 4.0.0 supports Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR).

How to set static addresses for the Ethernet network interface

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the following command:
ipaddrset [-cp number] [-sw number]
switch:admin> ipaddrset -sw 1
Ethernet IP Address [192.168.166.148]:
Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.255.0]:
Fibre Channel IP Address [none]:
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [none]:
Committing configuration...Done.
OK.
switch:root>
Enter the network information in dotted quad format for Ethernet IP address, Ethernet Subnetmask, and
Gateway Address at the prompts. Skip Fibre Channel prompts by pressing enter. Disable DHCP by
entering Off.
