Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHC P) suppor t for embedded switches

Beginning with Fabric OS 5.2.3 ﬁrmware, DHCP is now supported on the following embedded switches:

• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem

• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem

With SAN switch for HP c-Class BladeSystems, DHCP is enabled by default on rev C or later. The status

of DH C P (enabled or d isabled) can be observed and changed via either Web Tools or CLI.

Enabling or d

isabling DHCP

To enable or d

isable this feature:

1. Loginwiththefollowingdefaultvalues:

•usernameadmin

•passwordpa

ssword

2. Issue the ipaddrset command.

Using External DH CP to set the Ethernet IP address

NOTE:

This procedure applies to c-Class only.

To set the Ethernet IP address via D HCP:

1. Connect to the active OA via a web bro wser.

2. Document the DHCP-assigned address by selecting the switch from the GUI Rack O verview window.

3. Verify the IP address using a telnet or ssh log in to the switch, or by selecting the switch in the OA

GUI Rack Over view window.

NOTE:

This procedure applies to p-Class only.

The HP p-C

lass BladeSystem architecture provides Ethernet (iLO) access to embedded SAN switches only

through an external RJ45 connector on the switch; conﬁguration is then similar to that for an external

SAN switch.

If the DHC

P feature is enabled and a connection (Ethernet cable) exists from the p-Class SAN switch

to an Ethernet network where a DHCP service is active, the switch should request and obtain an IP

address automatically.

Additional enhancements

General enhancements include:

• The tstimezone command providing ﬂexibility via an interactive way to support a new Daylight

Saving Time, based on country and region.

• Thenumberofuseraccountsincreasedfrom15to256.
