2.
If you cannot obtain an IP address using DHCP, you can use a link-local connection.
a. Connect a service laptop directly to the rightmost RJ-45 port on the SG6000-CN controller,
using an Ethernet cable.
b. Open a web browser on the service laptop.
c. Enter this URL for the StorageGRID Appliance Installer:
http://169.254.0.1:8080
The StorageGRID Appliance Installer Home page appears. The information and messages
shown when you first access this page depend on how your appliance is currently connected.
Note: If you cannot access the Home page over a link-local connection, configure the
service laptop IP address as 169.254.0.2, and try again.
3. Review any messages displayed on the Home page and configure the link configuration and the
IP configuration, as required.

Configuring network links
If you do not want to use the default configuration for the four 10/25-GbE ports on the SG6000-CN
controller, you must configure the link settings. These ports are used to connect the appliance to the
Grid Network and the optional Client Network. You can set the link speed as well as the port and
network bond modes.
Before you begin
If you plan to use the 25-GbE link speed:
• You are using SFP28 TwinAx cables, or you have installed SFP28 transceivers in the 10/25-GbE
ports you plan to use.
• You have connected the 10/25-GbE ports to switches that can support these features.
• You understand how to configure the switches to use this higher speed.
