Manually Assigning a Static VNXe Management Port IP Address
If you want to manually assign a static IP address for the VNXe system management port, you

(under Downloads).
b. Install the VNXe Connection Utility software on a Windows computer. To use the Auto 
Discover method discussed below, install on a computer in the same subnet as the VNXe 
management port.
c. Launch the VNXe Connection Utility (under Windows, Start > Programs > EMC > 
ConnectionUtility).
Note: If the Windows system where you install the Connection utility is not on the same subnet as the VNXe 
system, you must use the Manual Configuration method in Step 2.
2. Use the Connection Utility to assign a Management IP address to your VNXe system.
