CLI Guide

169.254.x.x addresses (including gateway 169.254.0.1) are on a private subnet that is reserved for
unconfigured systems and the addresses are not routable. This prevents the DHCP server from
reassigning the addresses and possibly causing a conflict where two controllers have the same IP
address. As soon as possible, change these IP values to proper values for your network
To switch a controller from DHCP addressing to static addressing, you must set the IP address,
netmask, and gateway values.
NOTE: The following IP addresses are reserved for internal use by the storage system:
169.254.255.1, 169.254.255.2, 169.254.255.3, 169.254.255.4, and 127.0.0.1. Because these
addresses are routable, do not use them anywhere in your network.

Syntax
set network-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[dhcp]
[gateway gateway]
[ip address]
[netmask netmask]
[ping-broadcast enabled|disabled|on|off]
Parameters
[controller a|b|both]
Optional. For IP-related parameters, this specifies whether to change controller A, B, or both. If this
parameter is omitted and both controllers are set to use DHCP or are set to use ping-broadcast,
changes affect both controllers. Otherwise, if this parameter is omitted and the ip parameter,
netmask parameter, or gateway parameter is set, changes affect the controller being accessed.
[dhcp]
Optional. Specifies to use DHCP to set network-port IP values for both controllers, unless one
controller is specified by using the controller parameter.
[gateway gateway]
Optional. A gateway IP address for the port.
[ip address]
Optional. An IP address for the port. Specify the address in dot-decimal format, where the four
octets of the address use decimal values and the octets are separated by a period; for example,
10.132.2.205. The first octet may not be zero, with the exception that 0.0.0.0 can be used to disable
the interface (stop I/O). This is the default.
[netmask netmask]
Optional. An IP subnet mask for the port.
[ping-broadcast enabled|disabled|on|off]
Optional. Enables the storage system to respond when a ping to a broadcast address is issued on the
system subnet. This is disabled by default.
Examples
Manually set network-port IP values for each controller (disabling DHCP for both controllers, if it was
enabled) using IPv4 addressing. Then enable DHCP for controller A without affecting controller B.
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway

# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway
192.168.0.1 controller b
# set network-parameters dhcp controller a
