the above as a secondary IP connection
If it is not convenient to change your computer network address, you can use the
ARP-Ping
command to reset the Console Server IP address. To do this from a Windows computer:
Click
S
tart -> R
un
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 which should be empty
Now add a static entry to the ARP table and
ping
the Console Server to have it get the IP
address. In the example below we have a Console Server with 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. The computer issuing the
arp
command must be on the same network segment
as the Console Server (i.e. 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
