◦
If you are configuring DHCP:
ifconfig e0a -auto
The target port you configure is the target port you use to communicate with the

network connection. You can also use the e0M port in this command.
◦
If you are configuring manual connections:
ifconfig e0a -addr=filer_addr -mask=netmask
-gw=gateway-dns=dns_addr-domain=dns_domain
▪ filer_addr is the IP address of the storage system.
▪ netmask is the network mask of the management network that is connected to the HA partner.
▪ gateway is the gateway for the network.
▪ dns_addr is the IP address of a name server on your network.
▪ dns_domain is the Domain Name System (DNS) domain name.
If you use this optional parameter, you do not need a fully qualified domain name in the netboot

Other parameters might be necessary for your interface. You can enter help ifconfig at the
firmware prompt for details.
