The Ethernet (network) interface provides management access, including direct access to the Fabric OS CLI, and allows other tools, such as Web Tools, to interact with the switch. You can continue to use a static Ethernet addressing system or allow the DHCP client to automatically acquire Ethernet addresses. Configure the Ethernet interface IP, subnet mask, and gateway addresses in one of the following sections: • "Static Ethernet addresses" on page 35 • "DHCP activation" on page 35 When you change the Ethernet interface settings, open connections such as SSH or Telnet may be dropped. Reconnect using the new Ethernet IP information or change the Ethernet settings using a console session through the serial port to maintain your session through the change. You must connect through the serial port to set the Ethernet IP address if the Ethernet network interface is not configured already. See "Connecting to Fabric OS through the serial port" on page 31 for details. Virtual fabrics and the Ethernet interface IPFC allows management on switches, directors, and enterprise-class platforms using the Ethernet interfaces. On each director and enterprise-class platform there are two Ethernet interfaces that are associated with the active CP. In a Virtual Fabric, the IPFC network interface is associated with the chassis and can be assigned its own IPv4 and IPv6 address. Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 33
