Pinging an IP address
Because the SAN should be on a private network, you can ping target IP addresses from a storage
system using the CMC. You can ping from any enabled interface listed on the TCP/IP tab. You
can ping any IP address, such as an iSCSI server or an SNMP monitor server.
To ping an IP address
1. Select a storage system, and open the tree below it.
2. Select the TCP/IP Network category.
3. Select the TCP/IP Tasks menu, and select Ping from the menu.
4. Select which Network Interface to ping from, if you have more than one enabled.
A bonded interface has only one interface from which to ping.
5. Enter the IP address to ping, and click Ping.
If the server is available, the ping is returned in the Ping Results window.
If the server is not available, the ping fails in the Ping Results window.
Configuring the IP address manually
Use the TCP/IP Network category to add or change the IP address for a network interface.
1. Select a storage system, and open the tree below it.
2. Select TCP/IP Network category, and click the TCP/IP tab.
3. Select the interface from the list for which to configure or change the IP address.
4. Click Edit.
5. Select IP address, and complete the fields for IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway.
6. Click OK.
7. Click OK on the confirmation message.
8. Click OK on the message notifying you of the automatic log out.
NOTE: Wait a few moments for the IP address change to take effect.
9. Log in to the newly addressed storage system.
