Setting static Ethernet addresses Use static Ethernet network interface addresses on HP StorageWorks 2/128, 4/256 SAN Director, DC Director models, and in environments where DHCP service is not available. To use static addresses for the Ethernet interface, you must first disable DHCP. You may enter static Ethernet information and disable DHCP at the same time. Refer to "Activating DHCP" on page 29 for more information. If you choose not to use DHCP or to specify an IP address for your switch Ethernet interface, you can do so by entering none or 0.0.0.0 in the Ethernet IP address field. IMPORTANT: IP address 0.0.0.0 is not supported in Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.2.0. On the iSCSI Director (FC4-16IP) and B-Series MP Router (FR4-18i) blades, configure the two external Ethernet interfaces to two different subnets, or if two subnets are not present, configure one of the interfaces and leave the other unconfigured. Otherwise the following message will show up and also blade status may go into a faulty state after a reboot. Neighbor table overflow. print: 54 messages suppressed To set static addresses for the Ethernet network interface: 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the following command to set the IPv4 address: switch:admin> ipaddrset Ethernet IP Address [192.168.74.102]: Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.255.0]: Fibre Channel IP Address [220.220.220.2]: Fibre Channel Subnetmask [255.255.0.0]: Gateway IP Address [192.168.74.1]: DHCP [OFF]: off or to set an IPv6 address on a switch: switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64 IP address is being changed...Done. Example of setting logical switch (sw0)'s IPv6 address on a Director: director:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 -sw 0 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417B/64 IP address is being changed...Done. Enter the network information in dotted decimal notation for the Ethernet IPv4 address and in semicolon separated notation for IPv6. Enter the Ethernet Subnetmask and Gateway Address at the prompts. Skip Fibre Channel prompts by pressing Enter. Disable DHCP by entering OFF. 28 Standard features
