2. Issue the ipaddrset command.

Using External DHCP to set the Ethernet IP address

NOTE:

This procedure applies to c-Class only.

To set the Ethernet IP address via DHCP:

1. Connect to the active OA via a web browser.

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

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

GUI Rack Overview window.

NOTE:

This procedure applies to p-Class only.

The HP p-Cla

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

through an external R J45 c onnector on the switch; conﬁguration is then similar to that for an external

SAN switch.

If the DHCP f

eature 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.

• Zoning database size increased from 256 KB to 1 MB.

• Long distance mode simpliﬁcation:

• LD is a dynamic distance mode that automatically discovers lengths and assigns the correct

amount of buffer credits with an Extended Fabrics license.

• LS is a static distance mode that allows yo u to specif y the number of buffer credits required

with an Extended Fabrics License.

• LE supports up to 10 kilom eters at any speed and does not require an Extended Fabrics license.
