IP ADDRESSING

Both of the SLB network ports (Eth1 and Eth2) default to DHCP-assigned IP addresses. If you want to assign a different IP address, it must be

within a valid range, unique to your network, and with the same subnet mask as your workstation.

To configure the SLB, you need the following information:

IP address (if not already assigned): _______ . _______ . _______ . _______

Subnet mask (if not already assigned): _______ . _______ . _______ . _______

Gateway: _______ . _______ . _______ . _______

DNS: _______ . _______ . _______ . _______

The fastest way to set basic network parameters is by using the front

panel keypad and display.

Note:

If you prefer, you can get started by following a Quick Setup

script on the command line interface using Telnet or SSH, or by

connecting a terminal directly to the console (RS-232) port. The web

page interface also provides a Quick Setup page.

See

Quick Setup

in the User Guide for instructions.

CONFIGURING NETWORK (IP) SETTINGS

1.

Install the unit in a 19-inch rack if desirable.

Warning: Be careful not to block the air vents on the sides of the

unit. If you mount it in an enclosed rack, we recommend that the

rack have a ventilation fan.

2.

Connect the SLB directly to the network through the top Ethernet

port #1.

3.

Connect up to eight serial console devices to the numbered device

ports on the front of the unit using the appropriate cables and

adapters.

4.

To manage a device’s power, plug its power cord into one of the eight

power outlets.

5.

If you are using the modem, connect it to the phone line.

6.

Attach single-phase power cords to the primary AC input connector

and secondary AC input connector (optional) and apply power.

7.

Wait about a minute and a half for the boot process to end. When the

boot process ends, the status of each power outlet displays on the LCD

display. Detected faults or process messages may also display.
