Task 4: Configure Network Information
2-15
Installation Tasks
• IP address - the factory preset default internet protocol (IP)
address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP address is also 10.1.1.10.
If Reset Configuration is selected from the element manager
application, the switch resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.
If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch
(and the management server) must have a unique IP address. One
switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the
remaining switches must be changed.
NOTE: If multiple switches, other managed products, and the
management server are delivered in a Fabricenter equipment cabinet, all
devices are configured with unique IP addresses that do not require
change. The addresses require change only if multiple equipment
cabinets are LAN-connected.
• McDATA Flexport Feature - If you have enabled additional port
function with the McDATA Flexport Feature since the switch
shipped from the factory, resetting configuration will return this
feature to the factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must
re-enable the additional ports using the Configure Feature Key
dialog box (refer to Task 16: Configure PFE Key (Optional) on
page 2-56).
NOTE: Until this feature is enabled the additional ports will appear as
Not Installed in the Port Operational State dialog box of the Hardware View
and Port List View.
• Subnet mask - the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch
is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers,
the address may require change.
• Gateway address - the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the
switch is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection
through a router, the address does not require change. If the
switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the
gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate
intranet’s local router.
Verify the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network
administrator. If one switch (or one Fabricenter equipment cabinet) is
installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not require
change.
