Arp configuration: IP Address Mac Address Iproute Configuration: IP Address Mask Gateway Metric switch:admin> Configuring the GbE interface NOTE: You can set the TCP/IP parameters of a GbE port even when iSCSI gateway service is disabled. Address resolution protocol (ARP) entries for the IP interfaces are created automatically when you verify that the network connectivity using the ping command. You can add additional ARP entries if you wish. As an option, you can define static routes to reach the destination IP through a preferred gateway. The gateway must be on the same subnet as the GbE port. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port. 1. Connect and log in to the switch. 2. Enter the portCfg command as follows to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and maximum packet size of the interface: switch:admin> portcfg ipif 3/ge0 create 30.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 8256 NOTE: 1500 bytes is the standard maximum packet size in an IP network. If your network supports jumbo packets, a value of 8256 can improve performance. The range allowed is 1500 to 8256 KB. 3. Enter the portShow command to verify that the settings: switch:admin> portshow ipif 3/ge0 Slot: 3 Port: ge0 InterfaceIP AddressNetMaskMTU 030.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 8256 4. Optional: Enter the portCfg command to define static routes to reach the destination IP through a preferred gateway. switch:admin> portcfg iproute 3/ge0 create 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 30.0.0.1 1 Operation Succeeded The gateway must be on the same subnet as the GbE port. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port. 5. Optional: Verify the route as follows: switch:admin> portshow iproute 3/ge0 Slot: 3 Port: ge0 IP AddressMaskGatewayMetricFlags 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 30.0.0.1 1 30.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 30.0.127.30 0 Interface 6. Enter the portCmd --ping command to verify that the network connection: switch:admin> portcmd --ping 3/ge0 -s 30.0.127.30 -d 30.0.0.1 Pinging 30.0.0.1 from ip interface 30.0.127.30 on 3/ge0 with 64 bytes of data Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 311
