Assign a New Director IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address
If you are using the local RS-232 serial interface to access the CLI, then you need to congure the IP Address that
Indigo management software, when available, will use to communicate with Director. If Director must communicate
through a Gateway to reach the network, then set the Gateway IP Address for that Gateway.
If you are running the CLI remotely, you can change the IP Address, but when you do, you will lose your SSH
connection since it is talking to the old IP Address. In that case, initiate a new SSH session to the new IP address and
you can continue using the CLI remotely.
To assign a new IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address to Director:
Enter 1. sysip show. The current IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address are displayed.
Enter 2. sysip set ipaddr=<new ip address> mask=<new netmask> gw=<new gateway>. The IP Address, Netmask,
and Gateway IP Address are made pending.
Enter 3. sysip show. Verify that the displayed "Pending Sysip Info" IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address are
the desired values.
Enter 4. sysip commit to activate the new IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway IP Address.
Example: sysip set ipaddr=10.60.4.180 mask=255.0.0.0 gw=10.0.0.1
sysip commit

The sysip set command requires that all three arguments are present.

Change Port Modes
To change the port mode:
Enter 1. port set ports=<portlist> autoneg=< on | off> speed=< 10 | 100 | 1000 > duplex=< full | half> to set the
mode of a 10/100/1000 Copper port.
Example: Enter port set ports=n1.5 autoneg=off speed=100 to set Network Port 5 in DNM 1 to 100Mbps xed
speed. Duplex mode is left in its default state of full duplex.
Repeat Step 1 as desired for ports n1.2 to n1.12, n2.1 to n2.12, m.1 to m.12, and t1.1 to t2.2; this procedure only 2.
affects 10/100/1000 Copper ports.
Tip! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
You can change the modes of multiple ports in a single command by specifying the ports in the portlist. Use a comma to
separate items in the list, and use a dash (-) to indicate a range. For example, this portlist includes the rst three ports
in DNM 1 and the rst port in DNM 2: ports=n1.1-n1.3,n2.1
