Network Connections

Each controller has an Ethernet (RJ45) Management Port connector on the back

of the enclosure. This is a Gigabit Ethernet connector designed to connect to

your network. The VessRAID becomes a node on your network like any other

PC, server or other component with an IP address.

VessRAID ships from the factory a default Management Port IP address of

192.168.0.1. You must change this address to one that will work with your

network. See “Chapter 3: VessRAID Setup” on page 25.

Note that VessRAID Management Port can accept IP address assignments from

a DHCP server. Use VessRAID’s Command Line Utility (CLU) to enable this

feature. If you have not activated DHCP support but there is a DHCP server on

your network, there is a chance that it will inadvertently assign the VessRAID’s

Management Port IP address to another node. You might see a warning to this

effect on your Host PC’s monitor. If this happens, WebPAM PROe might not

connect. See your network administrator to work out a suitable arrangement.
