Task 6: Plan Network Addresses
Depending on the configuration of the LAN on which directors, switches, and the
HAFM appliance are installed, plan network addressing as follows:
■ If installing products and the HAFM appliance on a dedicated (private) LAN
segment, there is no requirement to change any default network addresses. If
multiple equipment racks are connected, ensure that all directors, switches,
and servers have unique IP addresses. If new IP addresses are required,
consult with the customer’s network administrator.
■ If installing products and the HAFM appliance on a public LAN containing
other devices, default network addresses may require change to avoid address
conflicts with existing devices.
For the Director 2/64, Edge Switch 2/16, and Edge Switch 2/32, change the IP
address, gateway address, and subnet mask through a remote terminal
connected to the product’s maintenance port.
For the HAFM appliance, change the default network addresses through the
TCP/IP Properties dialog box in Windows. In addition, assign and record a
unique domain name service (DNS) name for the HAFM appliance and each
director and switch.
■ Gateway addresses may need to be configured for directors, switches, and the
HAFM appliance if these devices connect to the LAN through a router or
other gateway device.
The Ethernet connections for directors, switches, and the HAFM appliance have
the following network addresses:
■ Directors and switches:
— Media access control (MAC) address is unique for each product. The
MAC address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where each xx is a
hexadecimal pair.
— Factory preset and default IP address is 10.1.1.10. If the Reset
Configuration option is selected from the Element Manager application,
the director or switch resets to this address.
— Subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
— Gateway address is 0.0.0.0.
■ HAFM appliance:
— MAC address is unique.
— IP address of the Ethernet adapter is 10.1.1.1.
