5. Use SiteConfig to change the IP address. Make sure that the IP address is within the range

designated for the network.

adapter for which you need to change the IP address and click the

iSCSI Bridge

node. The iSCSI

Bridge Server configuration page opens.

8. In K2Config, identify the iSCSI adapter for which you are changing the IP address. Since you

changed it in SiteConfig, K2Config should now display the new IP address.

order (highest bandwidth first) and enter the same bandwidth values (load balancing) for each
client as the values originally configured.

10. Place the devices of the K2 SAN back online.

Restoring network configuration

When you restore a K2 system from its system specific image, network configuration is also restored
to the factory default settings. This is the recommended method of restoring network configuration.
However, if for some other reason you must configure network settings manually, use the tasks in
this section to restore the default network configuration.

Identify adapters

On some systems, it is possible that the Microsoft Windows operating system has enumerated
network adapter names in an unpredictable sequence. You must identify adapters by their location
rather than by the enumeration assigned by the Windows operating system and verify or modify the
adapter name as necessary.

1. If not already open, open Network Connections as follows:

a) From the Windows taskbar, click

Start | Network

.

The Network window opens.

b) Click

Network and Sharing Center

.

Network and Sharing Center opens.

c) Click

Change Adapter Settings

.

Network Connections opens.

2. Verify that there are four similarly named adapters listed, with the first adapter having no

enumerator at the end its name and the other adapters enumerated #2, #3, and #4 .
