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.

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 Network page.
