Changing Network Setting
After completing login to the console of the FC Switch Module, change the network setting of the
FC Switch Module according to the procedure below. (The network setting is always required.)
Installing more than one FC Switch Module in a specific Blade Enclosure
(SIGMABLADE) without network setting may cause an unintentional error to
occur due to a duplicate IP address. Always set the IP address of each FC
Switch Module uniquely.
Setting at shipment from factory
The network setting is provided for an FC Switch Module as follows when it is shipped from the
factory.
Ethernet IP Address 0.0.0.0
Ethernet Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Fibre Channel IP Address 0.0.0.0
Fibre Channel Subnetmask 0.0.0.0
Gateway Address 0.0.0.0
After proper network setting enabling connection to a network, you can login
to the console of FC Switch Modules via the network.
1. Type "ipaddrset" on the console screen.
Any commands used on the switch console should be specified with
lowercase letters.
2. The following entry screen appears which asks you to enter the network information in the area
from the Ethernet IP address to the gateway IP addresses. Type setting values and press the
[Enter] key.
Contact your network administrator for details of the setting values.

IP addresses set for FC Switch Modules should be located on the same
subnet for the IP address of the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE) in which
the FC Switch Modules are installed.
After the network setting is completed, the network-related daemon program
in the firmware of the FC Switch Module automatically restarts. The network
setting is made effective just after the auto restart of the daemon program.
To access to an FC Switch Module via the network, some settings may be
required for the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE). For the settings, refer to
the User’s Guide of the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE).
Do not change "Fibre Channel IP Address" and "Fibre Channel
Subnetmask" because they are unavailable.
If some network setting is changed during system operation, an error
message may appear on a log of the host connected to the FC Switch
Module at restart of the network-related daemon program.
