VTrak E-Class Product Manual
your network. The VTrak becomes a node on your network like any other PC,
server or other component with an IP address.
VTrak ships from the factory an IP address of 10.0.0.2. You must change this
address to one that will work with your network. You make the initial IP address
setting using the CLI or CLU. See "Setting up the Serial Connection" on page 35.

Note that VTrak Management Port can accept IP address assignments from a
DHCP server. Use VTrak's Command Line Utility (CLU) to enable this feature. If
you have not activated DHCP support but there is a DHCP server on your
network, there is a chance that it will inadvertently assign the VTrak's
Management Port IP address to another node. You might see a warning to this
effect on your PC's monitor. If this happens, WebPAM PROe may not be able to
connect. See your network administrator to work out a suitable arrangement.
Fibre Channel Connections
When there is a connection failure, use WebPAM PROe to verify that VTrak sees
the initiator(s). See "Viewing Fibre Channel Initiators" on page 82.
If VTrak sees some initiators but not the one you want, the problem is most likely
elsewhere in the loop or fabric. If VTrak does not see any initiators:
•
Check all of the Fibre Channel connections
•
Verify that all nodes are properly connected and powered
•
Verify that the fabric router or switch is properly connected powered
The Fibre Channel ports, transceivers, and controller on VTrak function the same
as comparable components on other nodes.
For more information, see "Managing Fibre Channel Connections" on page 79.
