Network Connections
Each RAID 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 VTrak becomes a node on your network like any other PC,
server or other component with an IP address.
VTrak ships from the factory IP addresses of 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, and 10.0.0.3.
You must change these addresses to ones that work on your network. You make
the initial IP address setting using the CLI or CLU. See “Setting-up the Serial
Connection” on page 44.

Note that VTrak’s virtual and maintenance ports can accept IP address
assignments from a DHCP server. Use VTrak’s Command Line Utility (CLU) to
enable this feature.
If you manually assigned an IP address to the VTrak but there is a DHCP server
on your network, there is a chance that the server might assign the VTrak’s IP
address to another node. You might see a warning to this effect on your PC’s
monitor. If this happens, WebPAM PROe may not be able to connect. See your
network administrator to work out a suitable arrangement.
Fibre Channel Connections
When there is a connection failure, use WebPAM PROe to verify that VTrak sees
the initiators. See “Viewing a List of FC Initiators on the Fabric” on page 186 or
page 255.
