Setting Management Port IP Address using the CLI

The IP address can be configured using the CLI (command line interface) from a serial console or

through DHCP.

To configure the IP address using the CLI, perform the following steps:

1. Plug the serial cable (Mini DB9 RS232 Serial cable) into the COM1 port of a PC to access

the MSA2000 via a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal (available on most Windows

PCs) and into the serial port of one of the storage device controllers.

2. Run HyperTerminal from the PC. The settings are:

Terminal Emulation Mode: VT-100 or ANSI

Font: Terminal

Translations: None

Columns: None

Connector: COM1 (typically)

Baud rate: 115,200

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

NOTE: For more detailed information, refer to the MSA2000 CLI Reference Guide.

3. Once connected, press <Enter> to display the prompt (#).
