The Ethernet interface on your switch
You can use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for the Ethernet network interface configuration.
The Ethernet (network) interface provides management access, including direct access to the Fabric OS
CLI, and allows other tools, such as Web Tools, to interact with the switch.
You can continue to use a static Ethernet addressing system or allow the DHCP client to automatically
acquire Ethernet addresses. Configure the Ethernet interface IP, subnet mask, and gateway addresses in
one of the following sections:
Static Ethernet addresses” on page 35
DHCP activation” on page 35
When you change the Ethernet interface settings, open connections such as SSH or Telnet may be
dropped. Reconnect using the new Ethernet IP information or change the Ethernet settings using a console
session through the serial port to maintain your session through the change. You must connect through the
serial port to set the Ethernet IP address if the Ethernet network interface is not configured already. See
Connecting to Fabric OS through the serial port” on page 31 for details.
Virtual fabrics and the Ethernet interface
IPFC allows management on switches, directors, and enterprise-class platforms using the Ethernet
interfaces. On each director and enterprise-class platform there are two Ethernet interfaces that are
associated with the active CP. In a Virtual Fabric, the IPFC network interface is associated with the chassis
and can be assigned its own IPv4 and IPv6 address.
