How to check IP address and default gateway assigned to HPE 3PAR

May 8, 2019

Problem

We need to see/verify the IP address and default gateway/route assigned to HPE 3PAR 7400.

Environment:

  • HPE 3PAR Model: 7400
  • HPE 3PAR OS version 3.2.1 (MU3)

Solution

  • Login to HPE 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) using the credentials. Default login credentials (username/password) are 3paradm/3pardata.
  • Run the shownet command to see the details as shown below: 
    EPS-7400-DC cli% shownet
IP Address                                         Netmask/PrefixLen    Nodes    Active Speed  Duplex AutoNeg Status
172.10.2.100                                       255.255.255.0        01       0      1000   Full   Yes     Active

Default route: 172.10.2.8
  • You may use the setnet command to change the network configurations. You need to provide the arguments with the command as shown below: 
    EPS-7400-DC cli% setnet
setnet: Incorrect number of arguments.
SYNTAX
    The syntax for the setnet command can be one of the following:
        setnet startaddr   |
        setnet startgateway 
        setnet finish [-f]
        setnet abort
        setnet cleargateway [-f]
        setnet speed  auto| 
        setnet failoverping  {|none}
        setnet ntp {none|}
        setnet changenode []
        setnet addaddr   {|}
        setnet removeaddr 
        setnet dns {none | [-add|-remove] }
        setnet disableports {yes|no}

SUBCOMMANDS
    startaddr
        Specifies that the system start switching the old IP address (
        specifier) to the new IP address ( specifier) with the specified
        netmask ( specifier).

    startgateway
        Specifies that the gateway is immediately set to the specified IP
        address if no gateway is currently defined. If a gateway is currently
        defined, the system starts switching the old gateway to the new gateway.
        Only IPv4 gateways can be changed with this command.

    finish
        Specifies that outstanding changes from the startaddr and startgateway
        subcommands be completed.

    abort
        Specifies that any attempt to configure a new IP address or gateway
        fails. The system returns to its previous state.

    cleargateway
        Specifies that the existing system gateway is removed.

    speed
        Specifies that the network interface is set to the specified speed and
        duplex as indicated with the and  specifiers.

    failoverping
        Specifies that on IP failover, a ping is sent to the specified IP
        address as indicated with the  specifier.

    ntp none|
        Specifies the NTP server the system should use to synchronize its
        clocks. The server must be specified as an IP address.

    changenode
        Forces the system to change which node has an active Ethernet interface.
        If a node ID is specified, it switches to that node. Otherwise, any node
        with a connected Ethernet interface is chosen.

    addaddr
        Specifies that the new IP ( specifier)is added to the interface
        that is currently assigned the old_IP ( specifier). The old IP
        and new IP should be of different IP versions (IPv4 or IPv6).

    removeaddr
        Specifies that the old IP ( specifier) be de-configured.
        The old IP can only be an IPv6 address.

    dns {none | [-add|-remove] }
        Specifies the DNS server the system should use to resolve host
        names. The server must be specified as an IP address.

   disableports {yes|no}
        Specifies the network configuration functionality where if the option
        is specified as "yes" will disable the non-encrypted ports, if option "no"
        is specified, it will enable the non-encrypted ports. Disabling non-encrypted
        ports will also prevent the service processor from monitoring events,
        which will prevent the generation of email notifications about system issues.
