Task 4: Configure network information
The switch is delivered with the following default network addresses:
•
MAC address - the media access control (MAC) address is
programmed into FLASH memory on the CTP card at the time of
manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each switch, and
should not be changed. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format,
where xx is a hexadecimal pair.
•
IP address - the factory preset default internet protocol (IP)
address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP address is also 10.1.1.10.
If Reset Configuration is selected from the element manager
application, the switch resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.
If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch
(and the management server) must have a unique IP address. One
switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the
remaining switches must be changed.
NOTE: If multiple switches, other managed products, and the
management server are delivered in an equipment cabinet, all devices are
configured with unique IP addresses that do not require change. The
addresses require change only if multiple equipment cabinets are
LAN-connected.
•
IBM Flexport Feature - If you have enabled additional port
function with the IBM Flexport Feature since the switch shipped
from the factory, resetting configuration will return this feature to
the factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must re-enable
the additional ports using the Configure Feature Key dialog box
(refer to
Task 16: Configure PFE Key (optional)
NOTE: Until this feature is enabled the additional ports will appear as
Not Installed in the Port Operational State dialog box of the Hardware View
and Port List View.
•
Subnet mask - the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch
is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers,
the address may require change.
•
Gateway address - the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the
switch is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection
through a router, the address does not require change. If the
