Network Connections
Each controller has an Ethernet (RJ45) Management Port connector on the back
of the enclosure. This is a Gigabit Ethernet connector designed to connect to
your network. The VTrak becomes a node on your network like any other PC,
server or other component with an IP address.
VTrak ships from the factory IP addresses of 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, and 10.0.0.3.
You must change these addresses to ones that work on your network. You make
the initial IP address setting using the CLI or CLU. See “Setting up the Serial
Connection” on page 39.

Note that VTrak’s virtual and maintenance ports can accept IP address
assignments from a DHCP server. Use VTrak’s Command Line Utility (CLU) to
enable this feature.
If you manually assigned an IP address to the VTrak but there is a DHCP server
on your network, there is a chance that the server might assign the VTrak’s IP
address to another node. You might see a warning to this effect on your PC’s
monitor. If this happens, WebPAM PROe may not be able to connect. See your
network administrator to work out a suitable arrangement.
Fibre Channel Connections
When there is a connection failure, use WebPAM PROe to verify that VTrak sees
the initiators. See “Viewing Fibre Channel Initiators” on page 88 or page 213.
