Configuring the management module for remote access

For IPv4, you can configure the management module to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or static IP addresses for remote access. For IPv6, you can configure the management module to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6), static IP addresses, and stateless auto-configuration for remote access.

After you connect the active management module to the network, the Ethernet port connection is configured in one of the following ways:

Any of these actions enables the Ethernet connection on the active management module.

Make sure that the client computer is on the same subnet as the management module; then, use your web browser to connect to the management module (see Starting the management-module web interface for more information). In the browser Address or URL field, specify the IP address that the management module is using:
Note: If the IP configuration is assigned by the DHCP server, the network administrator can use the MAC address of the management-module network interface to find out what IP address and host name are assigned.
