TIPS:
 By specifying floating IP (active EM) by the SET NETWORK
ADDRESSRANGE command, consecutive numbers are automatically
allocated to IP addresses of floating IP (standby-EM), static IP address (EM
card slot 1) and static IP address (EM card slot 2). (Reserve four consecutive IP
addresses in advance.)
 By specifying IP address of CPU blade (slot 1) by the SET NETWORK
ADDRESSRANGE command, consecutive numbers are automatically
allocated to IP addresses of CPU blades (Slot2~16) and switch modules
(Slot1~8). (Reserve twenty-four consecutive IP addresses in advance. About
this command, "consecutive numbers" means values consecutive by the decimal
number. (e.g. "10.0.0.254" and "10.0.0.255" are "consecutive numbers", but
"10.0.0.255" and "10.0.1.0" are not.))
 Some modules might not support or be disabled in DHCP client function. In
such a case, the IP address that is configured using the SET NETWORK
ADDRESSRANGE command is not allocated to a module. Configure each IP
address on the module or enable the DHCP client function if it is disabled. (For
details, refer to the User's Guide of the module. Some modules do not require
IP address configuration.)
 It may take a couple of minutes for a module to acquire an IP address
configured by the SET NETWORK ADDRESSRANGE command. Use the
SHOW SERVER LIST command and the SHOW SWITCH INFO command
for CPU blades and switch modules respectively to check the module has
acquired the configured IP address. (For more information on the commands,
refer to " Commands.")
 It may take some time until the IP address is reflected in the switch module by
DHCP function after performing the SET NETWORK ADDRESS RANGE
command. In such a case, restart the switch module. Then the IP address
configured by an EM card is allocated to the switch module soon. (For
information on how to restart a switch module, refer to RESTART SWITCH
command of " Commands." or the User's Guide of the switch module.) As for a
CPU blade, if the settings are changed, a process to reallocate an IP address is
executed, so that the new IP address is set after a while. (However, if your
User's Guides or the Operation Guides of CPU blade has different descriptions,
follow those descriptions.)
 On setting DHCP function on a module enabled or disabled, it may take a
couple of minutes for the module to acquire an IP address which is set by the
SET NETWORK ADDRESS RANGE command. If the IP address isn't
allocated to the module after a while, restart EM card by performing
"RESTART EM" command on a CLI.
 The IP address allocated to each module by the SET NETWORK
ADDRESSRANGE command is enabled in the management LAN. For settings
of IP addresses on the user LAN, see the User's Guides of your blade and
switch module.
 The IP address configured by the SET NETWORK ADDRESSRANGE
command is reserved for a slot if there is no module on the slot or a module on
the slot doesn't require IP address settings, It is recommended not to configure
the same IP address as the reserved one for any other network machine.
 Generally, pass-through card is a module that doesn't require IP address
settings. (Depending on the pass-through card, you may find a different
description from the one in this manual on the User's Guides or Operation
Guides of your pass-through card. In such a case, follow those descriptions.)
