Configuring the

IP Address,

Subnet Mask, and

Default Gateway

The procedure in this section explains how to manually assign an IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address to the chassis from a local or
Telnet management session. (If you want the chassis to obtain its IP
configuration from a DHCP server on your network, go to the procedure
“Enabling and Disabling DHCP” on page 40.)

To configure parameters for managing the chassis remotely, perform the
following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.

The System Configuration Menu, shown in Figure 5 on page 35, is
displayed.

2. From the System Configuration Menu, select IP Parameters.

The IP Parameters Menu, shown in Figure 6 on page 37, is displayed.

3. Make the necessary changes to the following parameters.

Ip address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the chassis. You must
assign a chassis an IP address so it can be managed remotely using
Telnet or an SNMP application. In addition, if the management
workstation is separated from the chassis by a router, you must also
provide a gateway address, which is the IP address of a router through
which the chassis can communicate with the remote management
workstation. The IP address must be entered in the format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default value is 10.0.0.1.

Subnet mask
This parameter specifies the subnet mask for the chassis. You must
specify a subnet mask to manage the chassis remotely. The mask
address must be entered in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default
value is 255.255.252.0.

Gateway address
This parameter specifies the default router’s IP address. This address
is required if you intend to remotely manage the chassis from a
management workstation that is separated from the chassis by a
router. The gateway address must be entered in the format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
