none whatsoever, can be done online without disrupting fibre channel traffic.

You can also change speed settings and full / half duplex settings if you like. FC won't be interrupted !

So if you have problems with your ethernet connection to a FC switch, you can fool around with the ipaddrset command without any issues !

Thanks for your answers

Hi,

You can do so, however it is advisable that you do so connected to the serial connection, else as soon as you change the switch management port IP address, through CLI via telnet or SSH, the session will be lost due to the changed IP adderss, though you may reconnect using the new IP.
