Modify the FC SAN Module IP address

By default, the IP address for the FC SAN Module is configured as 10.77.77.77 with a default Ethernet subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0.

You can reset the IP address using three methods. If the IP values are set using any of these methods, the IP values
are stored on the FC SAN Module.

FC SAN Module Command Line Interface (CLI).

Blade Server Enclosure CMC CLI.

Blade Server Enclosure CMC graphical user interface (GUI).

ATTENTION

Do not connect the FC SAN Module to the internal network until the IP address is correctly set for your Ethernet
network requirements.

NOTE

It is recommended that you set the IP address using the Blade Server Enclosure CMC GUI application because this
enables centralized management of the FC SAN Module.

Using the FC SAN Module CLI to set the IP address

Use the following tasks to change the IP address on the FC SAN Module using the Module’s CLI:

Task 1: Establish a terminal session with the FC SAN Module

Use these steps to establish a terminal emulation session between the FC SAN Module and a Blade Server
Enclosure management workstation used for managing the FC SAN Module. Once this session is established, you
can log into the Module and use its CLI commands to manage the module.

1.

Connect a serial cable between the serial console port on the FC SAN Module and a Blade Server Enclosure
management workstation that can establish a terminal emulation session with the FC SAN Module. For
instructions, refer to Configuration Guide for your Blade Server Enclosure.

2.

Disable any serial communication programs that are running on the workstation.

3.

Using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC or TERM in a LINUX or UNIX environment),
establish a terminal session to the FC SAN Module from the management workstation. You will use this
connection if you want to reset the module’s IP address using CLI commands and perform other configuration
tasks.
