Chapter 5 Configuring Your Library
Managing the Network
Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide 64
Details on network settings include:
• Library Name is the network name you want to assign to the library.
The library name is limited to 12 lowercase alphanumeric characters
and dashes (-).
• DHCP defaults to enabled. When DHCP is enabled, the library obtains
an IP address automatically. If DHCP is not enabled, you must
manually enter an IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask/net
prefix.
• IPv4 addresses must be entered in dot notation (for example,
192.168.0.1). They are limited to numeric characters and do not allow
values exceeding 255 for dot-separated values.
• IPv6 addresses must be entered in the proper notation. IPv6 address
can be entered in the most common notation, as eight groups of four
hexadecimal digits. 2001:0ff8:55cc:033b:1319:8a2e:01de:1374 is an
example of a valid IPv6 address. Also, if one or more of the four-digit
groups contains 0000, you can omit the zeros and replace them with
two colons (::), as long as there is only one double colon used in an
address. Using this notation, 2001:0ff8:0000:0000:0000:0000:01de:1374
is the same as 2001:0ff8::01de:1374.
• IP Address is the IP address of the library. For IPv4, this text box is
available only if DHCP is disabled.
• Default Gateway Address is the IP address of the default gateway for
your portion of the Ethernet network. For IPv4, this text box is
available only if DHCP is disabled.
• Subnet Mask (IPv4 only). Text box is available only if DHCP is
disabled.
• Network Prefix (IPv6 only).
Note: Make sure that the library is connected to the network before
modifying network settings. If the Ethernet cable is not
installed properly, you cannot configure the network settings.
Install one end of the Ethernet cable in the top Ethernet port of
the library control blade (LCB) just below the three LEDs. The
LCB is located at the back of the 5U Library Control Module.
Make sure the other end of the Ethernet cable is installed in the
appropriate LAN port on your LAN.
