Create a DHCP Reservation for the SBM

(Recommended)

If you want to use a DHCP server to assign a fixed IP address to the SBM,

create the reservation before the installation.

The SBM has two Ethernet interfaces, but it typically uses Ethernet Interface

2. (Interface 1 is disabled at the factory default settings.)

To find the MAC address for the reservation, view the MAC address listed on

the label on the underside of the module. This is the MAC address of the

Ethernet interface 1; the MAC address of the Ethernet interface 2 is this

address incremented by one.

Note After the SBM is installed, the SBM administrator can find the MAC address

by entering show ip in the SBM OS CLI, which is accessed through the host HP

zl switch CLI. However, it is recommended that you create the DHCP reserva-

tion before the SBM is installed.

Create a DNS Entry for the SBM (Optional)

You might want your SBM administrator to be able to initially access the SBM’s

Setup Wizard from the SBM’s hostname rather than its IP address. If so, you

must create a DNS entry that maps the SBM’s hostname to its fixed IP address.

The SBM’s default hostname is its serial number, which you can find on the

upper deck of the module. (See the HP Survivable Branch Communication

Example Steps

The steps below explain how to complete these task in a simple deployment

(using Windows Server 2008 servers). Refer the appropriate Microsoft docu-

mentation for complete and up-to-date instructions:

1. Log in to a domain controller server as a Domain or Enterprise Admin.

Access the Active Directory Users and Computers window (Start > Adminis-

trative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers).

2. Expand your domain. Right-click the Computers folder and select New >

Computer.
