Configuring the GbE interface

ASSIGNING AN IP ADDRESS

Assign the IP address to the GbE port (iSCSI interface) using the portCfg command.

NOTE

The GbE port number <port_number> below is entered geX; where X is from 0 through 7.

For example ge1 (see Figure 8 on page 10).

To assign the IP address and subnet mask

1. Connect and log in to the switch.

2. Enter the portCfg command as follows to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and maximum

packet size of the interface:

switch:admin> portcfg ipif 3/ge0 create 30.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 1500

3. Enter the portShow command to verify the settings:

switch:admin> portshow ipif 3/ge0

Slot: 3 Port: ge0

Interface IP Address NetMask MTU

----------------------------------------------------------

0 30.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 1500

ADDING STATIC IP ROUTES (OPTIONAL)

Define static routes to reach the destination IP through a preferred gateway. The gateway must be

on the same subnet as the GbE port. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port.

NOTE

The GbE port number <port_number> below is entered geX; where X is from 0 through 7.

For example ge1 (see Figure 8 on page 10).

To add a static route

1. Connect and log in to the switch.

2. Enter the portCfg command as follows:

switch:admin> portcfg iproute 3/ge0 create 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 30.0.0.1 1

Operation Succeeded

3. Verify the route as follows:

switch:admin> portshow iproute 3/ge0

Slot: 3 Port: ge0
