Appendix A. Setting the IP Address from the Command Line

Follow these steps to set the NearStore VTL IP address using the VTL CLI:

  1. Connect to the VTL appliance.

    Attach a monitor and keyboard directly to the system or connect a laptop or another computer via the serial port of the system, using a program such as HyperTerminal.

    Use the following parameters to connect.

    Parameter Value

    Speed

    57600

    Data

    8

    Parity

    N

    Stopbits

    1

  2. Enter the following command to show the current network configurations of the system:

    show net

    The VTL displays the following (the values displayed below are for illustrative purposes only).

    Note

    If there is no IP address set for the system, the values are blank, with the exception of the MAC address.

    IP address

    192.168.1.39

    Netmask

    255.255.255.0

    Gateway

    192.168.1.1

    MAC

    00:11:25:19:32:6e

  3. Enter the following command, using values that are appropriate for your network, to set the values for the network:

    Set net ip_addr netmask gateway_addr

    For example:

    set net 192.168.1.39 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

  4. Enter the following command to ensure that the values are correct:

    show net

    The NetApp VTL displays the network values that you entered into the command line interface. The table shows the values for this example.

    IP address

    192.168.1.39

    Netmask

    255.255.255.0

    Gateway
