b. Add the route on the Management Station that is going to the 7500 R1.

linux> route ge0 -host 10.1.2.20 gw 192.186.3.20

Configuring a Management Station on different subnets

For a configuration with multiple subnets, the routes must be added to all intermediate hops in the network.

To minimize the impact on IP traffic and limit the possibility that unnecessary access will be given, a host

specific route can be used on all routes specified for the HP StorageWorks 400 Multi-Protocol Routers. This

will ensure that only IP traffic destined for the switch’s management addresses are routed to the HP

StorageWorks 400 Multi-Protocol Routers and all other IP traffic that may be destined for that subnet will

use a different path or get dropped if no other path is available. When adding routes to the management

station, a host specific route can be used, but are not necessary.

1. Configure the management addresses for the 7500 L1.

a. Configure the internal addresses for the inbd devices for CP and GE port (GE port 0 for this

example):

switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 ipaddrset cp 192.168.255.1 255.255.255.0

switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 ipaddrset ge 192.168.255.2 255.255.255.0

b. Add the route on the switch going to the Management Station.

switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 routeadd 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0

192.168.1.250
