Configuring IP Addresses and DNS

After connecting to the SAC command prompt, you can use netsh to
configure network addresses, default gateways, and DNS for a storage
server, after which you can connect remotely to the server and use the GUI
to complete other initial configuration and other management tasks.

To set the static IP address you must know the IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway address.

1 Obtain the list of available interfaces by typing the following:

netsh interface ip show interface

2 Identify the interface(s) that are displayed as Connected.
3 Set the IP address for the desired interface by typing the following:

netsh interface ip set address name=<interface>

source=static addr=IP address mask=

<subnet mask> gateway=<gateway address>

4 Set the DNS address by typing the following:

netsh interface ip set dns name=<interface>

source=static addr=<dns address>

NOTE:

If you are using an interface name that includes spaces, place the text

in quotation marks. For example, "local area connection".

For more information about the netsh command, see "Scripting Tools" on
the Microsoft website at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66414
