Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System Deployment Guide

Set IPv4 addresses for network ports

The IPv4 option was selected in the guided setup and the Network Settings: IPv4 page is displayed.

In the Source section, select the type of IP address settings to use for each controller:
- Select Manual to specify static IP addresses.
- Select DHCP to allow the system to automatically obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server.
If you selected Manual, type the IP address, IP mask, and Gateway addresses for each controller

NOTE The following IP addresses are reserved for internal use by the storage system: 169.254.255.1, 169.254.255.2, 169.254.255.3, 169.254.255.4, and 127.0.0.1. Because these addresses are routable, do not use them anywhere in your network.
If you selected DHCP, and the controllers successfully obtained IP addresses from the DHCP server, the new IP addresses are displayed
When settings for both controllers are complete, click Apply and Continue.
The Network Settings: DNS page opens.
