Chapter 9 Configuring IP Addressing 91
Configuring Static IP Addressing
There are two methods of assigning static IP addresses to the Ethernet ports of a
controller:
■ The serial port interface (see “Using the Serial Port Interface to Assign IP
Addresses” on page 91)
■ The Common Array Manager (see the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager
Software Installation Guide).
Using the Serial Port Interface to Assign IP Addresses
You can use the serial port interface on a controller to set the IP address for the
Ethernet port on the controller.
To use the serial port interface to configure IP addressing for the Ethernet port of
each controller, you must complete the tasks described in the following sections:
■ “To Connect a Terminal to the Serial Port” on page 91
■ “To Set Up the Terminal Emulation Program” on page 92
■ “To Establish a Connection With the Serial Port” on page 92
■ “To Configure the IP Addresses” on page 94
▼ To Connect a Terminal to the Serial Port
You will establish a serial connection to each controller, Controller A and Controller
B. One mini-DIN to RJ45 serial port cables are supplied with each controller tray.
To connect a terminal to the serial port of a controller:
1. Connect the 6-pin mini-DIN connector of the serial cable to the serial port on
the controller (“Controller Tray Rear-Access Components” on page 8).
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the serial cable to the serial port on the
terminal. It may be necessary to use the RJ45-DB9 adapter between the serial
cable RJ-45 connector and the serial port of the terminal.
3. For PC and laptop serial connections, you will also need to use a null modem.
Connect the RJ45-DB9 null modem adapter between the serial cable RJ-45
connector and the PC serial port.
Note – If your PC does not have a serial port, you can use a USB–Serial Port adapter
(separately available from third-party vendors; not included with 2500 Series Array
ship kits).
