Changing the IP Address and Default Gateway
Using the RS232 Serial Port
Step 1. Connect null-modem/crossover serial cables to the RS-232 ports
of the switch. If using a terminal emulation device, the settings should be:
❑8 data bits
❑no parity bits
❑1 stop bit
❑56K baud
❑Use VT100 emulation.
❑Flow control = XON/XOFF
Step 2. Power up the switch.
Step 3. To change the switch default IP address enter:
setChassisIpAddr -h ipaddress -m netMask
where -h ipaddress is the new IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format, and -m netMask
is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.
Step 4. To change the switch default gateway IP address enter:
setDefaultRoute -h ipaddress
where -h ipaddress is the new default gateway IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.
Using Telnet or SSH
Step 1. Power up the switch.
Step 2. Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45
connector on the switch. Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to a OOB LAN
workstation.
Step 3. Access the switch with the following command:
telnet 192.168.100.9

4
Step 4. The system prompts for a user name. In order to change the IP
address and default gateway, the user must be logged in as the
administrator. At the prompt enter:
admin
Step 5. The system prompts for a password. At the prompt enter:
adminpass
The system responds with:
Welcome to the SilverStorm 9020 CLI. Type 'list' for the list of
commands.
Step 6. To change the switch default IP address enter:
setChassisIpAddr -h ipaddress -m netMask
where -h ipaddress is the new IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format, and -m netMask
is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.
Step 7. To change the switch default gateway IP address enter:
setDefaultRoute -h ipaddress
where -h ipaddress is the new default gateway IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.
Step 8. To to exit the CLI enter:
logout
Using the Chassis Viewer
Step 1. Power up the switch.
Step 2. Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45
connector on the switch. Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to a OOB LAN
workstation.
Step 3. To start Chassis Viewer, open a web browser and enter the IP of
the switch.
NOTE: The browser must be on a workstation connected to the same Ethernet LAN, and on the same TCP/IP subnet as the
switch RJ-45 OOB LAN port.

Step 4. From the main menu select OOB LAN IP then Set OOB LAN IP. The
following screen is displayed:
Figure 1. Set OOB LAN IP Window
Step 5. Type in the new switch IP address.
Step 6. Type in the new net mask.
Step 7. Click Apply.
Step 8. To change the switch default gateway, from the main menu select
OOB LAN IP then Set Default Gateway IP. The following screen is displayed:
Figure 2. Set Default Gateway IP Window
Step 9. Type in the correct switch default gateway IP address.
Step 10. Click Apply.
NOTE: A reboot is required to activate the new gateway IP address.
Activating/Deactivating the Embedded Fabric Manager
If the embedded (FM) has been purchased, it requires a license key to activate it via Chassis Viewer. The license key information
is contained in an envelope marked "Fabric Manager License". This envelope is packed in the box with the switch. For detailed
information on activating the Fabric Manager, refer to the “License Keys; Key Administration” and “QuickSilver Fabric Manager
