HP Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class - Manual (Page 28)

Setting the IP address
IMPORTANT:
The switch supports DHCP beginning with Fabric OS 5.2.1b firmware. For
switches running Fabric OS 5.2.1b (switch rev 0C) or later, DHCP is enabled by
default, simplifying multiple switch installations. To enable or disable this feature,
login with these default credentials and issue the ipaddrset command using:
• username: admin
• password: password
To set the Ethernet IP address:
1. Verify that the enclosure is powered on.
2. Verify that the switch is installed.
3. Choose one of the following methods to set the Ethernet IP address:
•
Using Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA)
• Using External DHCP
• Setting the IP address manually
Using Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA)
To set the Ethernet IP address using EBIPA:
1. Connect to the active OA via a web browser.
2. Enable EBIPA for the corresponding interconnect bay.
3. Click the Apply button to restart the switch.
4. Verify the IP address using a telnet or ssh login to the switch, or by selecting the
switch in the OA GUI Rack Overview window.
