• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem

• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem

With SAN switch for HP c-Class BladeS ystems, DHCP is enabled by default on rev C or later. The status

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 DHC P-assigned address by selecting the switch from the GUI Rack Overview window.

3. Verify the IP a ddress 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-Class BladeSystem architecture provides Ethernet (iLO) access to embedded SAN switches only

through an external RJ45 connector on the switch; conﬁguration is then similar to tha t for an external

SAN swi

tch.
