Configuring the GbE interface
NOTE
You can set the TCP/IP parameters of a GbE port even when iSCSI gateway service is disabled.
Address resolution protocol (ARP) entries for the IP interfaces are created automatically when you
verify the network connectivity using the ping command. You can add additional ARP entries if you
wish.
Optionally, you can define static routes to reach the destination IP through a preferred gateway. The
gateway must be on the same subnet as the GbE port. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per
GbE port.
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the portCfg command as follows to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and maximum
packet size of the interface:
switch:admin> portcfg ipif 3/ge0 create 30.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 8256
NOTE
1500 bytes is the standard maximum packet size in an IP network. If your network supports
jumbo packets, a value of 8256 can improve performance. The range allowed is 1500 to 8256
KB.
3. Enter the portShow command to verify the settings:
switch:admin> portshow ipif 3/ge0
Slot: 3 Port: ge0

4. (Optional) Enter the portCfg command to define static routes to reach the destination IP
through a preferred gateway.
switch:admin> portcfg iproute 3/ge0 create 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 30.0.0.1 1
