If you want to retain your existing IP settings for this network connection, click
Advanced
and
Add
the above as a secondary IP connection.
If it is not convenient to change your PC/workstation network address, you can use the
ARP-‐Ping
command to reset the
console server
IP address. To do this from a Windows PC:
Click
S
tart -‐> R
un
(or select
All Programs
then
Accessories
then
Run
).
Type
cmd
and click
OK
to bring up the command line.
Type
arp –d
to flush the ARP cache.
Type
arp –a
to view the current ARP cache (this should be empty).
Now add a static entry to the ARP table and
ping
the
console server
to assign the IP address to
the console server. In the example below, a
console server
has a MAC Address 00:13:C6:00:02:0F
(designated on the label on the bottom of the unit) and we are setting its IP address to
192.168.100.23. Also the PC/workstation issuing the
arp
command must be on the same
network segment as the
console server
(that is, have an IP address of 192.168.100.xxx)
Type
arp -‐s 192.168.100.23 00-‐13-‐C6-‐00-‐02-‐0F
(Note for UNIX the syntax is:
arp -‐s
192.168.100.23 00:13:C6:00:02:0F
).
Type
ping -‐t 192.18.100.23
to start a continuous ping to the new IP Address.
Turn on the
console server
and wait for it to configure itself with the new IP address. It will
start replying to the ping at this point.
Type
arp –d
to flush the ARP cache again.
