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 Enclosure CMC CLI.
• Blade 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 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 Enclosure management workstation used for managing the FC SAN Module. Once this
session is established, you can log into the FC SAN 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
Enclosure management workstation that can establish a terminal emulation session with the
FC SAN Module. For instructions, refer to Configuration Guide for your Blade 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.
