ipAddrSet

2

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.

The option to set the Fibre FC IP address and FC subnet mask interactively is no longer supported
as of Fabric OS v6.2.0.

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.

-cp cp_number Specifies the CP on a chassis. Valid values are 0 or 1.

-chassis

Specifies the IPv6 address and prefix of a chassis.

On platforms with blade processors, the following additional command line options are
supported with the --add or --delete options:

-eth0 |-eth1

Specifies the local IPv4 address of the blade processor. A prefix is required.

-gate

Specifies the IPv4 address of the blade processor (BP) Gateway (no prefix).

-slot number

On a chassis with a blade processor (BP), specifies the slot number. On
standalone platforms with a hidden BP, such as the AP76500, this parameter
is not accepted.
