Setting the Gateway Address
Select option 4. Set gateway address in the Network Parameters menu to call up the
Set Gateway Address menu, which is shown in Figure 2-5.
The gateway is a computer or Ethernet router that connects your segment of the
Ethernet to other segments. This is also true if using telnet to communicate with the
MSA Fabric Switch 6 over the Ethernet from systems on other segments. In both of
these cases, the MSA Fabric Switch 6 will need the IP address of the gateway system
in order for it to function. Direct questions about gateways to your local network
administrator.

Saving Modifications
Though a number of parameters may have been set in the Network Parameters menu,
none are permanent until the Save modifications and reset switch to activate option
is chosen. This saves the parameters in non-volatile memory and reboots the switch
with the new parameters in effect.
