address fields, but you can change them to coordinate with your network. When selecting your IP

addresses, ensure that none of them conflict with existing IP addresses in your network.

This section describes the EVO:RAIL supports the IP addresses for EVO:RAIL or vCenter Server, ESXi,

vSphere vMotion, Virtual SAN, and the network services.

EVO:RAIL or vCenter Server IP address

EVO:RAIL and vCenter Server share an IP address. Type the IP address in the browser on your EVO:RAIL

Configuration and Management workstation or laptop to reach the EVO:RAIL user interface. EVO:RAIL is

accessible on port 7443 (https://<evorail-ip-address>:7443) and vCenter Server is accessible through the

vSphere Web Client on port 9443 (https://<evorail-ip-address>:9443). EVO:RAIL, vCenter Server, and the

ESXi hosts all share netmask (Row 11) and gateway (Row 8).

• Preconfiguration EVO:RAIL or vCenter Server IP address:

By using this IP address that, you can reach EVO:RAIL Initial Configuration (on port 7443). The VMware

default for EVO:RAIL or vCenter Server is initially set to IP address 192.168.10.200, netmask

255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.10.254. To configure EVO:RAIL, you can point your

browser to this address.

If you cannot reach the preconfiguration address, check the configuration of your EVO:RAIL

Configuration and Management workstation/laptop. If your network does not support access to this

address, contact your Dell service provider.

• Postconfiguration EVO:RAIL / vCenter Server IP address:

By using this IP address, you can reach EVO:RAIL Management (on port 7443) and vCenter Server (on

port 9443) in your production network. If you do not want to change the EVO:RAIL or vCenter Server

IP address, type the same IP address that was entered in Row 5.

If you change this IP address during initial configuration, EVO:RAIL instructs you to change the IP

address of your workstation or laptop to reach the new EVO:RAIL address (https://<new-ip-address/>:

7443) To change the postconfiguration vCenter Server IP address after EVO:RAIL Initial Configuration,

contact your Dell service provider.

NOTE: EVO:RAIL reverts to the original IP address if it is not contacted at the new IP address

within 20 minutes in Release 1.1+.
