Adding IP Address and Credentials to Chassis
On the Initial Chassis Configuration page, you can configure the IP address and credentials to the
chassis and the associated servers and I/O module during discovery. However, you can configure the
global chassis settings and other unique settings for chassis, servers, and I/O modules using the
Configure Resource wizard.
NOTE: The Chassis Configuration page in the Discover Resources wizard is displayed only when the
resources that you discovered include one or more chassis.
1. On the Initial Chassis Configuration page, in the IP Addressing section, perform the following
actions:
a. Under Chassis, select one of the following methods for obtaining IP addresses for the chassis:
• Use existing chassis IP address — ASM does not change the IP address of the chassis.
NOTE: This option is valid only for chassis that have been previously configured and
deployed inside or outside of ASM. Do not choose this option for new chassis.
Assign static IP address from the network — Assign a static IP address from the pool of IP
addresses in a management network. To add a network, click New and complete the Define

deployed inside or outside of ASM. Do not choose this option for new chassis.
• Assign IP address via DHCP — Use DHCP to automatically allocate an IP address. This option
is not valid for chassis.
• Assign static IP address from the network — Assign a static IP address from the pool of IP
addresses in a management network. To add a network, click New and complete the Define

c. Under I/O Modules, select one of the following methods for obtaining IP addresses for the
chassis:
• Use existing chassis IP address — Active System Manager does not change the IP address of
the device.
NOTE: This option is valid only for I/O modules that have been previously configured
and deployed inside or outside of Active System Manager. Do not choose this option
for new devices.
• Assign IP address via DHCP — Use DHCP to automatically allocate an IP address. This option
