Task 5: Configure Switch Network Information (Optional)
The switch is delivered with default network addresses as follows:
• MAC address - The media access control (MAC) address is
programmed into FLASH memory on the control processor (CTP)
card at the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for
each switch, and should not be changed.
• IP address - The default IP address is 10.1.1.10. If multiple
switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch (and the
management server) must have a unique IP address. One switch
can use the default address, but the addresses of the remaining
switches must be changed.
NOTE: If multiple switches and the management server are delivered in
a McDATA Fabricenter equipment cabinet, all devices are configured
with unique IP addresses that do not require change. The addresses
require change only if multiple equipment cabinets are LAN-connected.
• Subnet mask - The default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch
is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers,
the address may require change.
• Gateway address - The default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the
switch is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection
through a router, the address does not require change. If the
switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the
gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate
intranet’s local router.
Verify the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network
administrator. If one switch is installed on a dedicated LAN, network
addresses do not require change. Go to Task 6: Unpack, Inspect, and
Install the Management Server on page 2-47.
If multiple switches are installed or a public LAN segment is used,
network addresses must be changed to conform to the customer’s
LAN addressing scheme. The following tools are provided with the
