Dell PowerVault 124T - Manual (Page 3)

To configure the Dell PowerVault 124T LTO3-060 SAS autoloader, you must verify the setup of the following:
l Magazine(s).
l Ethernet IP address (if you are not using DHCP).
l SNMP server IP address—only if SNMP is being used.
l Time server IP address (or the time zone, date, and time, if configuring manually)—only if a time server is being used.
l Control mode.
l Security option.
Setting Ethernet
Ethernet is the method used by the autoloader to access a network. With an Ethernet connection, you can remotely access the autoloader over the network.
To use the Ethernet connection, you must define the following:
l A dynamic or static IP address for the autoloader (required)
l A subnet mask (required for static IP), not required for IPv6
l An IP gateway (optional)
l A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server (optional)
l A time server, or set the time and time zone manually (optional)
Setting the IP Address
An IP address is the address of any device attached to a network. Each device must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are written as four sets of
numbers separated by periods ranging from 0.0.0.0 up to and including 255.255.255.255 (also see "
IPv6 Addendum ").
IP addresses are either permanent or dynamically assigned. A permanent, or static, address remains the same each time the device connects to the network.
A dynamic address may change each time the device connects to the network server using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
To set a dynamic IP address:
1. From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter.
2. From the Configuration menu, scroll to Ethernet, and then press Enter.
3. From the Ethernet submenu, scroll to Set IP, and then press Enter.
4. Scroll to DHCP, and then press Enter.
To set a static IP address:
