Figure 7 – PING and ARP Command Tests for IP Address Setting.
Note that the “arp -a” listing still shows this IP as a “dynamic” assignment,
as this is the fall-back IP that has been stored in the MetriNet. On power
up, the MetriNet will still try and find a BOOTP server for 30 seconds, and
then default to this stored value as the fallback. If you do not see your new
connection, two troubleshooting notes –
1-You must always be careful to place the new IP address on the proper
subnet level so the PC can still reach it with the settings made in step 1. If
the PC is on 192.168.0.X, then any assigned IP must be on the X level –
and don’t place the MetriNet on the same IP as the PC. During BOOTP
server assignment, if you place the MetriNet on a vastly different IP like
10.20.120.100, you must repeat step 1 before step 6 above to place the PC
at something like 10.20.120.10. This can get tricky, as you can make
assignments anywhere, but then the PC must be re-established on that new
net to find the new assignment.
2-Remember to wait a minute before the ping test if you verify a connection.
The MetriNet runs BOOTP by default, so it will be searching for that server
for about 30 seconds on power up, and then will default to the stored IP.
