Conﬁguring an IP Address for the Gateway

To assign a static IP address to a gateway installed on your hardware appliance, conﬁgure the IP address

from the local console of that gateway. Your applications (such as your NFS or SMB client, your iSCSI

initiator, and so on) connect to this IP address. You can access the gateway local console from the

hardware appliance console.

To conﬁgure an IP address on your appliance to work with applications

1. On the hardware console, choose Open Service Console to open a login screen for the gateway local

console.

2. Enter the localhost login password, and then press Enter.

For File Gateway the default account is admin and the default password is password. For Tape

Gateway and Volume Gateway the default account is sguser the default password is sgpassword.

3. Change the default password. Choose Actions then Set Local Password and enter your new

credentials in the Set Local Password dialog box.

4. (Optional) Conﬁgure your proxy settings. See the section called “Setting the Local Console Password

from the Storage Gateway Console” (p. 253) for instructions.

5. Navigate to the Network Settings page of the gateway local console as shown following.

6. Type 2 to go to the Network Conﬁguration page shown following.

7. Conﬁgure a static or DHCP IP address for the network port on your hardware appliance to present a

ﬁle, volume, and tape gateway for applications. This IP address must be on the same subnet as the

IP address used during hardware appliance activation.

To exit the gateway local console

• Press the Crtl+] (close bracket) keystroke. The hardware console appears.

Note

The keystroke preceding is the only way to exit the gateway local console.
