Dell PowerVault MD3800i - Manual (Page 42)

NOTE: If DHCP is not used, perform the initial configuration using the management station on the
same physical subnet as the storage array. Additionally, during initial configuration, configure at
least one network adapter on the same IP subnet as the storage array’s default management port.
After initial configuration (management ports are configured using MD Storage Manager), you can
change the management station’s IP address back to its previous settings.
Default Management IPv6 Port Settings
By default, the storage array management ports are enabled for IPv6 stateless auto-configuration. The
ports are automatically configured to respond to their link local address and to a routable address if a
configured IPv6 router is present on the network.
Locating The Link Local Addresses Of The Management Port
To locate the link local address on the management port, see the MAC label for the management port on
the controller.
NOTE: This procedure applies to out-of-band management only. If you choose to set up in-band
management, you must complete this step and then proceed to "Step 8: (Optional) Set Up In-Band
Management".
1. If the MAC Address is 00:08:74:AA:BB:CC, the link local address starts with FE80::02.
2. Add the second and third bytes 08:74 MAC address to the prefix FE80::0208:744.
3. Add FF:FE to obtain FE80::0200:08FF:FE.
4. Finally, add the last 3 bytes of the MAC address FE80::0200:08FF:FEAA:BBCC.
