Methods for Setting
the IP Address
You can set the IP address using one of these methods, depending on your
network operating environment:
Note:
❏ When the IP address has been successfully assigned to your StorPoint CD,
you can set the ProtectIP parameter to
on
in order to avoid accidental or
malicious changing of the IP address. With this configuration, the StorPoint
CD will no longer accept a new IP address using the Web browser or ARP
method. You will find the ProtectIP parameter under the [IP] section in the
config.ini file located in the System/ServerProperties folder. Use a
text editor to edit the file.
Web Browser In most Windows environments, you can use a standard Web browser, e.g. Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator, to set the IP address.

and is the last group of the desired IP address.
