IP Address = 192.168.1.3
Once the IP address is set, the following command can be used to prevent DHCP or ARP-Ping from altering it:
Set ipmode static
Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server
A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and
Gateway to the iBootBar.
To enable this feature, configure the iBootBar with the command
set ipmode dhcp
Then reboot the iBootBar, or enter the command
reboot
To find the IP address of the iBootBar you will need to query your DHCP server and locate the MAC address of
the iBootBar in the DHCP server’s IP / MAC table. You can also access the CLI and use the
get network
command, or use the Discover provision of the iBootBar Setup and Control Utility.
7.3.2. Setting the IP address using ARP / Ping
The ARP / Ping technique uses a PC running a command line (DOS Window) to set the IP Address. To set the
IP address using ARP, connect the iBootBar to your local network and apply power. The IP address to be
assigned to iBootBar must be use the same subnet as the computer assigning the address. ARP does not work
across routed or switched networks.
To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address must be known. This address is located on the
bottom of the unit. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
7.3.3. Windows (98 and Later)
1.
Access the iBootBar CLI and enter the
set ipmode arp-ping
command
2.
On a PC, open a DOS window. (Run: Command)
3.
Type the following command:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the iBootBar and the <MAC address> is
the MAC Address of the iBootBar. The MAC Address of the iBootBar is located on the rear of the unit.
Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter>
|new IP addr| |---MAC addr----|
4.
Ping the iBootBar to program the IP address into the iBootBar.
Type: ping <IP Address>
Note: If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been programmed
properly. Check the IP or MAC Address for typographical errors. Repeat step 2. If the problem
persists, contact the Dataprobe Tech Support.
5.
Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing:
arp -d <IP Address>
6.
Ping the iBootBar to confirm that it has been programmed.
If the iBootBar fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists, contact Dataprobe Tech
Support.
7.3.4. Unix, Linux, MAC and others
Consult your systems administrator for information on how to set an IP Address. The unit should be pinged
after the IP Address has been set to confirm proper operation.
