Real IP address
The Real IP address (RIP) is the Nortel SNAS device host IP address for
network connectivity. The RIP is the IP address used for communication
between Nortel SNAS devices in a cluster. The RIP must be unique on the
network and must be within the same subnet as the MIP.
ATTENTION
Nortel recommends that you always use the MIP for remote configuration, even
though it is possible to configure the Nortel SNAS device remotely by connecting
to its RIP. Connecting to the MIP allows you to access all the Nortel SNAS
devices in a cluster. The MIP is always up, even if one of the Nortel SNAS
devices is down and therefore not reachable at its RIP.
ATTENTION
If an IP address — MIP, VIP, RIP, or gateway — is changed, the Nortel SNAS
must be rebooted for the change to take effect.
Initial setup
The initial setup is a guided process that launches automatically the first
time you power up the Nortel SNAS and log on. You must use a console
connection in order to perform the initial setup.
