•

IP address formats

Remarks

Format and example

IPv4 IP address are generally shown
in decimal notation, separated by
dots (periods).

IPv4

192.168.1.1

IPv4 with CIDR notation

192.168.1.1/24

IPv6 IP addresses are generally
shown in eight groups of four

IPv6

2001:0DB8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57AB

hexadecimal digits, separated by
colons.

IPv6 with compressed notation

2001:DB8::1428:57AB

IPv6 with CIDR notation

2001:DB8::1428:57AB/9

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) specifies an IP address range using a combination of an IP
address and a value indicating the number of 1-bits that start a mask (similar to a subnet mask),
for example xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/n (IPv4) or xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/n (IPv6). For
an IP address to be included in a CIDR notated address range, the n leftmost 1-bits in the given IP
address must match the n leftmost 1-bits in the IP Address portion of the CIDR notated address.

Management module

HP P6000 EVA storage systems with array-based management contain a hardware component
called the management module. The module includes an RJ45 jack for connecting the storage
system to your LAN (Ethernet network). It also includes the software that runs the HP P6000 Control
Panel.

The HP P6000 management module provides access to service data via the HP P6000 Control
Panel and is always active, even when the controller enclosure is in standby mode.

Management module reset button

The Reset button on the HP P6000 management module performs the following functions:

•

Sets the IP address for the storage system. See

Reestablishing the storage system IP address

•

Sets the logon credentials (user name,

password

) for both the HP P6000 Control Panel and

array-based HP P6000 Command View to their default values:

admin, blank (no password)

user, blank (no password)
