SAN04M-R SAN Router Installation And Service Manual
Ensure that the VT100 arrow emulation feature is on.
The SAN Router has an inband IP address and a 10/100 Management
Port IP address. You do not need to change the SAN Router inband
address now. You do not need to change the 10/100 Management
Port IP Address for Element Manager Access, but it must be set to an
IP address appropriate for the network before the SAN Router can be
managed by SANvergence Manager. If you choose not to set the
10/100 Management Port IP Address now (with the CLI) you can do
so from the Element Manager later.
Changes made to the management port IP address will take effect
only after a reset (CLI command reset system or Element Manager
File\Reset System).
The management port IP address is not affected by resetting the SAN
Router to defaults. The management port IP address and its
parameters (permanent route) remain the same until you actively
change it using either the CLI or the Element Manager.
The 10/100 Ethernet Out-of-Band Management port provides for
out-of-band IP-based management, often used for enhanced security.
This interface allows simple network management protocol (SNMP),
Telnet, and web-based management traffic to be separated from
storage traffic through use of a separate LAN. The IP address of the
management port must be in a different subnet than the SAN Router
IP address.
Set the management IP address using the CLI:
1. Press the Enter key to display the CLI prompt.
2. Logon to the SAN Router. Type modify at the Access Mode
prompt and private at the Password (community string) prompt.
3. Set or change management port IP address using the CLI:
• At the command prompt enter:
set mgmt portaddr <IP address><subnet mask>
where:
IP address = IP address of the management port
