To convert an mpx100 to an HP data migration appliance, follow these steps:
1. Reset factory defaults:
If the mpx100 unit has been previously used, it must be reset to the factory defaults. If the mpx100 is
brand new, skip to Step 2.
To reset the router and restore it to the factory default configuration, use a pointed, nonmetallic tool
to press and hold the maintenance button until the heartbeat LED flashes 20 times, then release the
button. The router boots and is restored to the factory defaults. The boot time is less than one minute.
Figure 1 shows the LEDs and maintenance button.
2. Configure access to the mpx100 management port:
a. Connect the router’s 10/100 Ethernet port to your workstation using a switch or hub. Alternatively,
b. Make sure the workstation connected to the mpx100 router has Ethernet address 10.0.0.x,
c. From the workstation, open a command window. Using a telnet session, connect to the mpx100

connect your workstation directly to the router using an Ethernet crossover cable. The mpx100’s
management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1 subnet 255.0.0.0.
where x is other than 1 and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
using IP address 10.0.0.1. Login as guest and enter the password password. The Command
All attribute values that have been changed will now be saved.
d. Enter the CLI command admin start. The default password is config.
e. Enter the set mgmt command at the mpx100 (admin) #> prompt.
f. Select the mode. QLogic recommends static address mode, which is IPv4 Mode 0 [Static] (this is the
default). Enter the IP address, subnet information, and gateway, if applicable. You will lose the
connectivity of the telnet session at this time.
g. If you want to continue using the CLI, restart the telnet session with the IP address you just assigned
to the management port. You now have the management port configured with the appropriate IP
address.
h. Connect the management port cable to your Ethernet network.

3. Upgrade mpx100 with data migration firmware:
Now that connectivity to the mpx100 management port is established, load the data migration
firmware into the unit using FTP. Do not forget to do a bin command before you put the firmware file on
the mpx100.
a. Open a command prompt on your workstation.
b. Change to the directory on your workstation that contains the mpx100 firmware file.
c. Type ftp followed by a space, then the IP address of the mpx100 management port, then press
ENTER.
d. At the User (IP address) prompt, type ftp, then press ENTER.
e. As the Password prompt, type ftp.
f. Type bin, then press ENTER.
g. Type put mpx100-X_X_X_X.bin, where X_X_X_X is the firmware version being installed.
h. Verify that the file transferred correctly.
i. Type bye, then press ENTER.

Use the show system command to display the correct serial number for your mpx100. This is the
only valid way to obtain the mpx100 serial number. Do not simply record the serial number from the back of the unit! You must use the serial number displayed by this command in the software.
Obtain the mpx100 serial number:
HP0051401-00 A8

HP SERIAL NUMBER
QLOGIC SERIAL NUMBER
If the plenum has been removed from the mpx100 for easier transport, the QLogic serial number will
be visible. If you have an mpx100 unit with the plenum removed, you must use the CLI or GUI to obtain
the correct serial number for the mpx100. See Figure 2 and Figure 3.
Obtain the mpx100 serial number:
