HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Command Line Interface Reference

NOTES
• If successful, this command causes any CLI or GUI clients currently connected to lose their
connection.
• To make it possible to change the network configuration without running the risk of losing
contact with the system because of misconfiguration, the setnet command uses a two step
process. When a new IP address is specified with the setnetstartaddr command, the
system is configured to listen as both the old and new IP addresses. When a new gateway is
specified with the setnet gateway command, the system switches between the old and
new gateways when it sees packets addressed to it being routed through those gateways.
After a connection has been made with the new configuration, the setnet finish command
can be used to remove the old configuration. While in the middle of this process, additional
work must be done by the system. It is preferable to run the setnet finish command after
the new configuration has been verified.
• When changing gateways, starting a CLI connection takes longer than usual, as the first reply
packet is typically routed through the previously used gateway address.
