Setup and Installation

Count Ports and Identify Default IP Addresses

Every OWC Jellyfish is pre-configured with IP addresses for each port. You need these if you are connecting manually.

On tower-based (vertical orientation) OWC Jellyfish, ethernet ports are counted starting from left to right and then top to bottom. The ports on rack-based (horizontal orientation) OWC Jellyfish are counted starting from top to bottom, then left to right. See illustration for examples of both.

The first 2 ports are located on the motherboard, with the rest on additional network cards. A separate single ethernet port (IPMI) on the motherboard (typically near the USB ports) does not participate in this count and cannot be used for data access.
