Enclosure TCP/IP Settings screen
This screen displays the current enclosure TCP/IP settings for the Active Onboard Administrator
and enables you to change the following settings:
• Enclosure IP Mode: The Enclosure IP Mode ensures all management applications point to the
active Onboard Administrator of the enclosure, using a single static IP address. This mode is
for enclosures with an active and standby Onboard Administrator. When the standby Onboard
Administrator takes over the role of the active Onboard Administrator, the Onboard
Administrator assumes the IP address of the previous active Onboard Administrator. This
ensures the Enclosure IP Mode IP address is consistently pointing to the active Onboard
Administrator.
The Enclosure IP Mode requires the active Onboard Administrator to have a static IP address.
Before enabling Enclosure IP Mode, you must configure a static IP address for the Active
Onboard Administrator. The standby Onboard Administrator can be configured for DHCP or
static IP settings. This mode is optional and is disabled by default.
The transition times from standby to active and active to standby varies, depending on the
configuration, enclosure population, and various other factors. The transition of standby to
active is normally 30 seconds. The transition of the previous active to standby is normally 90
seconds.
IMPORTANT: Replace the standby Onboard Administrator only while the enclosure is
powered on to be sure that the Enclosure IP Mode settings are not changed.
• DHCP— Gets the IP address for the Onboard Administrator from a DHCP server
