Configuring the Ethernet Card for TCP/IP
NOTE: If you are connecting to an existing TCP/IP network, you must
contact your network administrator before proceeding with TCP/IP
configuration. Please review this procedure and the Configuring Fibre
Channel for an Existing Net procedure with your network administrator
before performing either procedure.
The following steps assume that you are NOT connecting to an existing TCP/IP
network.
1. Bring up the TCP/IP configuration dialog.
2. You will need to fill in two fields in the TCP/IP dialog, IP Network Address
and Subnet Mask. For the IP Network Address, we recommend the following
numbering convention. Note that each Profile must have a unique IP
address.
For the first profile, use 128.181.1.1
For the second profile, use 128.181.1.2
For the third profile, use 128.181.1.3
etc. …
3. For the Subnet mask, use the same value on all systems: 255.255.255.0 and
then click OK . Choose Restart Now from the resulting dialog box.
4. Power off and then reboot the Profile.
5. Verify TCP/IP connectivity between Profiles by opening a command prompt
window and typing ping 128.181.1.n where n is the number for this Profile.
6. Repeat step 5 for at least one other Profile in the network.
7. Restart the Profile system when prompted.
