Configuring Ethernet Management Ports
You can configure addressing parameters for each controller’s Ethernet management
port and the timeout value for Telnet sessions. You can also view and configure the
SNMP event filter and the web page caching mode.
If you accessed SMU for the first time using the default IP address, you should set
the IP address for each controller. You can also the change the IP settings as needed.
Caution – Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the
storage system.
Using DHCP to Obtain IP Settings
In DHCP mode, Ethernet management port IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
values are obtained from a DHCP server if one is available. If a DHCP server is
unavailable, current addressing is unchanged. You must have some means of
determining what addresses have been assigned, such as the list of bindings on the
DHCP server.
To use DHCP to obtain IP values for Ethernet management ports:
1. Select Manage > General Config > LAN Configuration.
2. In the IP Address Assignment panel, set Source For IP Address to DHCP.
Settings in the RAID Controller IP Configuration panels are ignored.
3. Click Change LAN Configuration.
The controllers try to obtain IP values from the DHCP server. The new IP values are
displayed in a pop-up window. Record the new addresses.
After 15 seconds you will be logged out and the browser will try to reconnect to
SMU using the new IP address.
