This screen displays and allows you to modify the current enclosure TCP/IP settings (IPv6 settings) for the
Active Onboard Administrator and enables you to change the following settings:
• Enclosure IP Mode—The Enclosure IP Mode ensures all management applications point to the Active
Onboard Administrator of the enclosure, using a single static IP address. This mode is for enclosures
with an Active and Standby Onboard Administrator. When the Standby Onboard Administrator takes
over the role of the Active Onboard Administrator, that Onboard Administrator is assigned the IP
address of the previous Active Onboard Administrator. This ensures the Enclosure IP Mode IP address
is consistently pointing to the Active Onboard Administrator.
The Enclosure IP Mode requires the Active Onboard Administrator to have a static IPv4 address or a
static IPv6 address (IPv6 must be enabled). The Standby Onboard Administrator can be configured for
DHCP or static IP settings. This mode is optional and is disabled by default.
The transition times from Standby to Active and Active to Standby varies, depending on the
configuration, enclosure population, and various other factors. The transition of the Standby to the
Active is normally 30 seconds. The transition of the previous Active to Standby is normally 90 seconds.
Removing the previously Active Onboard Administrator early in the transition process forces the
transition time of the Standby to Active to increase to up to five minutes.
