Choosing Dhcp Or A Static Ip Address; Default Ip Addresses - Promise Technology 1000f series Product Manual

VessRAID 1000f, 1000i, 1000s Product Manual

Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address

When you setup your VessRAID, you have the option of:
• Enabling DHCP and letting your DHCP server assign the IP address to the
VessRAID's management port.
• Specifying a static IP address for the VessRAID's management port.
If you choose to enable DHCP, have your Network Administrator dedicate an IP
address for the VessRAID, linked to the VessRAID's MAC address. This action
will prevent the DHCP server from assigning a new IP address when the
VessRAID restarts, with the result that users can no longer log in.
To access the MAC address for VessRAID's management port:
1. At the administrator@cli> prompt, type menu and press Enter.
The CLU main menu appears.
2. In the CLU Main Menu, highlight Network Management and press Enter,
then highlight the management port and press Enter
