Configuring the Switch Ethernet Port
Note – The following RARP instructions apply to the Sun switch only. Brocade

Sun StorEdge Switch
The IP address of the switch is set to the default value of 10.0.0.1. You can change
this default IP address using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), or
the switch management GUI supplied with your switch. This guide provides the
procedures for changing the IP address using RARP only.
Using RARP to Change the IP Address
You can use RARP to change the address when you first receive the switch or if you
forget the address.
The Sun StorEdge SAN 4.0 Release RARP feature automatically downloads the
assigned IP address to the switch. After you cable the switch and turn the power on,
the IP address is automatically assigned.
You will need the following information to change the IP address:
IP address _______________________ Contact the person who maintains your
network for this information.
MAC address _____________________ See the documentation that
came with your switch for the location of the
MAC Address.
Switch Name ______________________ This is the assigned name of the switch you
are installing.
▼ To Set the Network IP Address Using RARP:
1. On a host connected to the same subnet as the switch, save your current
configuration.
2. Check that the /etc/ethers file exists.
