5. Press Enter to display the CLI prompt (#).
6. At the prompt, type the following command to set the values you obtained in Step 1 for each Network
port, first for controller A and then for controller B:
set network-parameters ip
address
netmask
netmask
gateway
gateway
controller a|b
where:
•
address
is the IP address of the controller
•
netmask
is the subnet mask
•
gateway
is the IP address of the subnet router
• a|b specifies the controller whose network parameters you are setting
For example:
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway
192.168.0.10 controller a
