Client/Server IP
You can configure connections between the client or switches and the Management application
server.
Configuring the server IP address
If your Operating System is IPv4-enabled or IPv6-enabled (running in dual mode), the server binds
using an IPv4 address. IPv6 only mode does not support server to client communication (the IPv6
address cannot be bound to the server).
NOTE
If the Management server or client has multiple Network Interface Cards and if any of these
interfaces are not plugged in, you must disable them; otherwise, the following features do not work
properly:
Server impact
• Configuration wizard (does not display all IP addresses)
• Trap and Syslog auto registration
• Report content (Ipconfiguration element does not display all server IP addresses)
• Network OS configuration backup through FTP
• Trace dump through FTP
Client impact
• Options dialog box (does not display all IP addresses)
• Firmware import and download dialog box
• Firmware import for Fabric OS and Network OS products
• FTP button in Technical Support Repository dialog box
• Technical supportSave of Fabric OS, Network OS, and Host products through FTP
To configure the IP address used by the server for client-server communications, complete the
following steps.
1. Select Server > Options.
The Options dialog box displays.
2. Select Client/Server IP in the Category list to set the IP address.
The Client/Server IP pane displays ( Figure 76 ).
