First setup of Syneto Storage OS

When Syneto Storage OS installs, it sets no IP address for any of the interfaces. You will need to use the IPMI or physical console to connect in Syneto Storage OS configuration interface and set up an IP address for one of the connected interfaces. Use the command below to configure the IP statically (see screenshot for example):

net ip edit <network_interface_name> address <ip_address>/<netmask>  

install config network

To set your IP address by DHCP use the following command:

net ip edit <network_interface_name> address dhcp

Once the IP address is set up, you can connect to the web configuration interface.

Point your browser to the acquired or configured IP address or the assigned domain name.
