McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
Configuration Planning Tasks
• If installing products and the management server on a dedicated
(private) LAN segment, there is no requirement to change any
default network addresses. However, if multiple equipment
cabinets are connected, ensure all managed products and servers
have unique IP addresses. If new IP addresses are required,
consult with the customer’s network administrator.
• If installing products and the management server on a public
LAN containing other devices, default network addresses may
require change to avoid address conflicts with existing devices.
For Intrepid-series directors, Sphereon-series fabric switches, and
Eclipse-series SAN routers, the IP address, gateway address, and
subnet mask are changed through a remote terminal connected to
the product’s maintenance port.
For the management server, these addresses are changed through
the liquid crystal display (LCD) front panel. In addition, assign
and record a unique domain name system (DNS) name for the
management server and each director or switch.
• Gateway addresses may need to be configured for managed
products and the management server if these devices connect to
the LAN through a router or other gateway device.
The Ethernet connections for the 1U management server, directors,
fabric switches, and SAN routers have the following default network
addresses:
• 1U Management server:
— Media access control (MAC) address is unique for each server
and managed product. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
format, where each xx is a hexadecimal pair.
— IP address of the private LAN connection (LAN 2)
is 10.1.1.1.
— IP address of the public LAN connection (LAN 1)
is 192.168.0.1.
—Subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
— Gateway address is blank.
