HP SN6000B Quick Start Instructions page 6

Set a static IP address
1. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet
IP address.
For an IPv4 address, use dotted-decimal
notation:
Ethernet IP Address:
192.168.74.102
For an IPv6 address, use colon-separated
notation:
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6
--add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
The following message confirms the change:
IP address is being changed...Done.
2. Provide the remaining network information:
Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.74.102
nl
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.252.0
nl
Gateway IP Address: 15.226.172.1
3. As an option, verify the IP address by entering
the ipaddrshow command at the prompt.
4. Record the IP address on the pull-out tab on the
port side of the switch.
5. When prompted, enter off to disable DHCP:
DHCP [OFF]: off
6. If the serial port is no longer required, use the
logout command to log out of the serial console.
Remove the serial cable and replace the plug in
the serial port.
7. Connect the Ethernet port on the switch to the
Ethernet network that assigned the IP address.
Set the date and time
The date and time settings are used for logging, error
detection, and troubleshooting.
1. Using a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session,
connect to the switch using the IP address that you
configured, and then log in to the switch as
admin using the password you set when you
logged in to the serial console port.
2. Enter the date command using the following
syntax:
date "mmddHHMMyy", where:
mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99.
NOTE:
interpreted as 1970 through 1999; values
less than 70 are interpreted as 2000
through 2069.
3. Enter the tstimezone command:
switch:admin> tstimezone
[--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by
country/city or by time-zone ID, such as PST. The
following example shows how to change the time
zone to US/Central:
switch:admin> tstimezone
nl
Time Zone : US/Pacific
nl
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
nl
switch:admin> tstimezone
nl
Time Zone : US/Central
4. Enter the tsclockserver command to
synchronize local time using NTP:
switch:admin> tsclockserver
<ntp1;ntp2>"
The value of ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name
of the first NTP server, which the switch must be
able to access. The value of ntp2 is the second
NTP server and is optional. When multiple NTP
server addresses are specified, tsclockserver
sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP
server. The default value is LOCL.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"
switch:admin> tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
Configure the zones, and perform device selection
See the Brocade Network Advisor User Manual,
available from the storage section of the HP website:

Connect devices
The Connect Devices window shows a graphical
representation of the switch with the device
connections, based on the information that you entered
in "Configure the zones, and perform device selection"
(page 6).
NOTE: Only HP B-series optical transceivers
are supported. See
for more information.
