You are installing a VSP F370 and you need to connect your laptop to one of the controllers. What are the two default IP addresses of the maintenance ports of CTL1 and CTL2? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• A10.0.0.17
• B10.0.0.16
• C192.168.0.17
• D192.168.0.16

• A
  79% (22)
• C
  7% (2)
• D
  14% (4)

Explanation

On the Hitachi VSP F370, the two maintenance port (iSCSI maintenance port) default IP addresses are 10.0.0.16 (CTL1) and 10.0.0.17 (CTL2), placing both answers A and B as correct - these are the factory-configured addresses you use to connect a laptop directly to each controller for initial setup or service access.

Options C (192.168.0.17) and D (192.168.0.16) are wrong because they use the 192.168.0.x subnet, which is not the default for VSP F-series maintenance ports - that range is a common default for other equipment (home routers, etc.) and is likely included specifically to confuse candidates who guess a "typical" default.

Memory tip: Think "10 for the F-series ten" - VSP F370 maintenance ports live on the 10.0.0.x subnet, with CTL1 at .16 and CTL2 at .17 (the last octet matches the controller number offset from 15, so CTL1 = 15+1 = 16, CTL2 = 15+2 = 17).
