Task 4: Configure Network Information

2-15

Installation Tasks

• IP address - the factory preset default internet protocol (IP)

address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP address is also 10.1.1.10.

If Reset Configuration is selected from the element manager

application, the switch resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.

If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch

(and the management server) must have a unique IP address. One

switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the

remaining switches must be changed.

NOTE: If multiple switches, other managed products, and the

management server are delivered in a Fabricenter equipment cabinet, all

devices are configured with unique IP addresses that do not require

change. The addresses require change only if multiple equipment

cabinets are LAN-connected.

• McDATA Flexport Feature - If you have enabled additional port

function with the McDATA Flexport Feature since the switch

shipped from the factory, resetting configuration will return this

feature to the factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must

re-enable the additional ports using the Configure Feature Key

dialog box (refer to Task 16: Configure PFE Key (Optional) on

page 2-56).

NOTE: Until this feature is enabled the additional ports will appear as

Not Installed in the Port Operational State dialog box of the Hardware View

and Port List View.

• Subnet mask - the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch

is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers,

the address may require change.

• Gateway address - the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the

switch is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection

through a router, the address does not require change. If the

switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the

gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate

intranet’s local router.

Verify the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network

administrator. If one switch (or one Fabricenter equipment cabinet) is

installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not require

change.
