Abstract: Network storage system configuration via a network is disclosed. An IP assignment component is configured to listen for IP assignment requests over the network. Responsive to identifying an IP assignment request originating from a network storage system, the IP assignment component assigns an IP address to the network storage system, and provides configuration access to the network storage system based upon the IP address. A network device management component is configured to send identification requests over the network. Responsive to receiving a response from a network storage system having a previously assigned IP address, the network device management component provides configuration access to the network storage system based upon the previously assigned IP address. In this manner, a network storage system is (e.g., remotely) configured (e.g., over a network), rather than a technician having to physically connect (e.g., via a serial cable) to the network storage system.

Abstract translation: 公开了通过网络的网络存储系统配置。 IP分配组件被配置为通过网络监听IP分配请求。 响应于识别来自网络存储系统的IP分配请求，IP分配组件向网络存储系统分配IP地址，并且基于IP地址提供对网络存储系统的配置访问。 网络设备管理组件被配置为通过网络发送标识请求。 响应于从具有先前分配的IP地址的网络存储系统接收响应，网络设备管理组件基于先前分配的IP地址提供对网络存储系统的配置访问。 以这种方式，网络存储系统（例如，远程地）配置（例如，通过网络），而不是技术人员必须物理地连接（例如，经由串行电缆）到网络存储系统。
