Spirent B2-800 Appliance Installation Guide
PN 71-009408 Rev A June 2022
Connecting to the Appliance
The appliance connects and operates through your local network much like a standard PC.
It boots with the IP address and subnet mask:
192.168.0.100/255.255.255.0
. Refer to
“Setting the Addressing mode, IP Address, Netmask and Gateway”
if you need to
reconfigure the IP address information.
To connect to your product’s GUI:
1
Configure a laptop or workstation with the IP address and subnet mask:
192.168.0.101/255.255.255.0
.
2
Connect the laptop or workstation to the administrative port with a straight-through or
crossover Ethernet cable or through a (preferably full-duplex) network switch or hub.
Setting the Addressing mode, IP Address, Netmask and Gateway
If you are connecting the appliance to a LAN, you will probably need to change the IP
address information. Obtain an unused IP address, netmask, and gateway IP address from
your IT department.
Use either of these methods to change the address information:
•
[Recommended] Use a communication program to SSH (secure shell) over the
Ethernet administration port to the default IP address.
•
The default IP address is 192.168.0.100, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0
•
Attach a USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the appliance.
•
It is recommended that you connect the monitor while the appliance is powered
off.
•
After the appliance has booted up, use one of the USB connectors for the key-
board.
You will be presented with a login prompt when the appliance is fully booted up. Use the
following system administrator login / password:
•
Login: admin
•
Password: spt_admin
