The Ethernet interface on your switch

IPv4 addresses assigned to individual Virtual Fabrics are assigned to IP-over-FC network interfaces.
In Virtual Fabric environments a single chassis can be assigned to multiple fabrics, each of which is
logically distinct and separate from one another, each IP-over-FC point of connection to a given
chassis needs a separate IPv4 address and prefix in order to be accessible to a management host.
For more information on how to set up these IPFC addresses to your Virtual Fabric, refer to Chapter
10, “Managing Virtual Fabrics”.
Displaying the network interface settings
If an IP address has not been assigned to the network interface (Ethernet), you must connect to the
Fabric OS CLI using a console session on the serial port. For more information, see “Console
sessions using the serial port” on page 2. Otherwise, connect using SSH.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ipAddrShow command.
