Configuring Network Addresses
The DS-32M2 is delivered with the following default network
addresses:
◆ MAC address — The media access control (MAC) address is
programmed into flash memory on the control processor (CTP) at
the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each
switch, and should not be changed.
◆ IP address — The IP address is 10.xxx.yyy.zzz, where:
• xxx is the machine address and programmed into flash
memory on the CTP card at the time of manufacture.
• yyy is the 5th byte of the MAC address.
• zzz is the 6th byte of the MAC address.
If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch
(and the Connectrix Service Processor) must have a unique IP
address. One switch can use the default address, but the
addresses of the remaining switches must be changed.
If multiple switches, other managed products, and the Connectrix
Service Processor are delivered in an EMC EC1200 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.
◆ 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 EC-1200 cabinet) is installed on a
dedicated LAN, network addresses do not have to be changed.
If multiple switches (or multiple EC-1200s) are installed or a public
LAN segment is used, network addresses must be changed to
conform to the customer’s LAN addressing scheme.
