8.1 Environment Three: FN IOM configuration
The configuration steps outlined below are repeated on both IOMs. When validating the configurations
in this guide the following management IP addresses (Table 9) were used.
Management IP address

Note: If the IOMs have been previously configured, existing configuration settings will be retained
when changing IOM modes. Because of this, it is recommended that the IOMs be returned to factory
defaults before configuring. See the Reset FN IOM to Default Factory Configuration section for
instructions on setting an IOM back to factory defaults.
