Configuring the Ethernet port
Use the set setup system command in an Admin session to configure the Ethernet port and other
network parameters. You can configure all of the following parameters in one session, or you can
configure specific parameters by adding the corresponding keyword:
• IPv4
configuration, page 26
• IPv6
configuration, page 27
• DNS server
IPv4 configuration
The switch supports IPv4, which includes the following:
•
Network discovery method
•
IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
IP gateway address
The network discovery method determines how the switch acquires its IP address. The IP address can come
from the IP address that resides on the switch or from a server. The switch supports network discovery from
the following server types:
•
Bootstrap Protocol (BootP)
•
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP)
•
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
To configure the IPv4 parameters, enter the set setup system ipv4 command:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> set setup system ipv4
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.
Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.
If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list
press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
Current Values:
EthIPv4NetworkEnable
EthIPv4NetworkDiscovery Static
EthIPv4NetworkAddress
EthIPv4NetworkMask
EthIPv4GatewayAddress
New Value (press ENTER to accept current value, 'q' to quit, 'n' for none):
EthIPv4NetworkEnable
EthIPv4NetworkDiscovery (1=Static, 2=Bootp, 3=Dhcp, 4=Rarp) :
EthIPv4NetworkAddress
EthIPv4NetworkMask
EthIPv4GatewayAddress
