Fabric OS Command Reference 503
53-1003131-01
ipAddrSet
2
•
The command accepts the -ipv6 command line syntax with the --add or --delete option on all
platforms that support IPv6 addresses. The --add option configures a single static IPv6 address and
prefix for the specified managed entity (chassis, CP, or AP). The --delete option deletes a static IPv6
address and prefix for the specified managed entity. On modular platforms, the command can be
executed only on the active CP.
- When using the command line syntax to add or delete IPv6 addresses, the managed entity is
identified only on modular platforms. To set the CP IPv6 address, use the -cpoption; to set the
IP address for the entire chassis, use the -chassis option.
- When using the command line syntax to add or delete IPv6 addresses on standalone platforms,
the implied entity is the single managed entity supported by the platform and must be left
unspecified.
- Additionally, the -eth0, -eth1, and -gate command line options are available with the --add or
--delete option on platforms with blade processors to set the BP Ethernet or Gateway
addresses. On a chassis with a blade processor the values for the blade in can be set from the
command line using the -slot option. The -slot option is not accepted in standalone application
processors with a hidden blade, such as the AP7600.
•
Use the -auto and -noauto options to enable or disable stateless IPv6 autoconfiguration.
• Use the -ls option with appropriate arguments to set or delete the IPv4 Fibre Channel address and
prefix for the IPFC interface of a logical switch. In a Virtual Fabric environment, each logical fabric is
represented by a separate IPFC network interface. Each of these network interfaces can be
assigned a unique IPv4 FC address and prefix. The logical switches that make up a logical fabric are
identified by the fabric ID (FID) that is assigned to each of the logical switch instances.
When setting the IPFC interface of a switch that is not in Virtual Fabric mode, use the -ls option with
FID 128. FID 128 identifies the switch when Virtual Fabrics are disabled.
Setting IP addresses interactively (IPv4 Ethernet address only):
• To set the CP Ethernet IPv4 address, use the -cp option; to set the Ethernet IP address for the entire
chassis, use the -chassis option. When setting the chassis IP address, the command prompts for
the Ethernet IP address and Ethernet subnet mask. When setting the CP Ethernet IP address, the
command prompts for the host name, Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, and Gateway IP
address. Valid switch and CP numbers depend on the platform on which the command is run. The
command must be executed on the active CP.
• On most standalone platforms (with the exception of the AP7600), ipAddrSet runs interactively if
invoked without operands. The command prompts for the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet
mask, and Gateway IP address. In addition, the command prompts for a specification of whether the
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) should be used to acquire the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet
subnet mask and Gateway IP address. Valid entries are "On" to enable DHCP and "Off" to disable it.
When DHCP is enabled, any user-configured Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask or
Gateway IP address is ignored.
NOTES
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
OPERANDS
When used in command line mode, the following operands are supported:
-Ipv6
Specifies IP address type as static IPv6 including prefix as needed.
--add x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n
Sets the specified IPv6 address.
--delete [x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n]
Deletes the specified IPv6 address. If no address is specified, any existing IPv6
addresses and prefixes are deleted from the specified or implied entity.
