HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide

ipv 4|6

Optional. Specifies whether to use IP version 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6) for addressing the network ports.

• 4: Lets you specify addresses in dot-decimal format, where the four octets of the address use

decimal values and the octets are separated by a period; for example, 10.132.2.205. The first

octet may not be zero, with the exception that 0.0.0.0 can be used to disable the interface (stop

I/O). This option is the default.

• 6: Lets you specify addresses using eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where the groups are

separated by a colon. All groups must be specified. For example,

0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0A90:3442.

ping-broadcast enabled|disabled|on|off

Optional. Enables the storage system to respond when a ping to a broadcast address is issued on

the system’s subnet. The default is Disabled.

been initiated. (2011-10-12 12:26:45)

Manually set network port IP values for controller A (disabling DHCP for both controllers, if it was

enabled) using IPv4 addressing:

# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway

192.168.0.1 controller a

Success: Command completed successfully. - Request to set network parameters has
