Setting the static addresses for the Ethernet network interface
Use the following procedure to set the Ethernet network interface static addresses:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Perform the appropriate action based on whether you have a switch or Backbone:
•
If you are setting the IP address for a switch, enter the ipAddrSet command.
•
If you are setting the IP address for a Backbone, enter the ipAddrSet command specifying
either CP0 or CP1. You must set the IP address for both CP0 and CP1.
Example of setting an IPv4 address

Fibre Channel IP Address [220.220.220.2]:
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [255.255.0.0]:
Gateway IP Address [10.1.2.1]:
DHCP [OFF]: off
Example of setting an IPv6 address on a switch
