I have to commission about 150 drives next week. The last couple times, I just used the BootP/DHCP tool. For anyone coming across this and unfamiliar with the tool, it's pretty handy:
* Start the program and choose the network configuration
* Power up your first device and wait for a new request to appear in the history panel
* Double click the new entry and create a relation with the desired IP
* Wait for the drive to make another request and receive its IP
* Select the relation and click the Disable DHCP button to make it a static IP
Multiply by 150, though, and this is pretty tedious. I sped things up a little by using the switch's built-in DHCP server, but that took the BootP/DHCP Tool's "Disable DHCP" button out of the equation and setting 150 drives to "manual IP" one at a time via RSWho is almost as bad. Is there another quick way to easily switch a bunch of drives to static all at once?
