Your laptop’s network card must be configured in a manner where it may access this IP network setting.
Refer to your operating system documentation for details on how to configure your network card.
See
Ethernet Settings
on page 26 for details on how to reconfigure NEXUS-3 Series device IP Address.
Note : The recovery Ethernet Port is configured with a default IP address (
192.168.1.250
) and subnet mask
(
255.255.255.0
), so that if connectivity is lost on the primary LAN port, you can use the recovery port to
gain access to the NEXUS-3 Series controller as described below and reset it.
Primary and Recovery ports should not be both connected at the same time – unplug the primary port
when connecting your laptop to the recovery port.
To use the recovery port:
• Depending on your Operating System, set your Network Adaptor to the
192.168.1.0/24
IP network.
e.g. in Windows, in
Settings
>
Network & Internet
set the
IP address
to
192.168.1.1
and
Subnet Mask
to
255.255.255.0
(i.e. the default value).
• You should now be able to reach
http://192.168.1.250/
in a browser on your PC and proceed from
there. (If you have HTTPS enabled, you can reach the target at
https://192.168.1.250/
instead.)
• Once recovery is complete, the NEXUS-3 Series device must be rebooted.
