Reconfiguring Default IP Address to Match Customer Network Settings

The device is supplied with software preinstalled. By default, the device is assigned with a default IP address that will most likely be inaccessible from the customer's network.

Default IP Address

Parameter

Value

IP Address

192.168.0.2

Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0

Default Gateway

0.0.0.0

Reconfigure the IP address to connect to the Device's Web‑based management tool (hereafter referred to as Web interface).

To reconfigure the IP address using CLI:
1. Use the VGA monitor and keyboard to connect to the CLI management interface. Alternatively, you can access the device's CLI through iDRAC virtual console.
2. At the prompt, type the username (default is Admin - case sensitive):
Username: Admin
3. At the prompt, type the password (default is Admin - case sensitive):
Password: Admin
4. At the prompt, run the following command:
> enable
5. At the prompt, type the password again:
Password: Admin
6. At the prompt, type the following commands to access the network interface configuration:
# configure network
(config-network)# interface network-if 0

Use the Tab key to auto-complete partially entered commands.

7. At the prompt, type the following commands to configure the IP address, prefix length and default gateway:
(network-if-0)# ip-address 10.4.212.155
(network-if-0)# prefix-length 16
(network-if-0)# gateway 10.4.0.1
(network-if-0)# exit
8. At the prompt, type the following command to complete the network configuration:
(network-if-0)# exit
9. If the device is connected to the IP network that uses VLAN ID (for example, VLAN ID 10), type the following commands to configure it in the Ethernet Device table (otherwise skip to step 10):
(config-network)# interface network-dev 0
(network-dev-0)# vlan-id 10
(network-dev-0)# tagging tagged
(network-dev-0)# exit
10. At the prompt, type the following command to complete the configuration:
(network-dev-0)# exit
11. At the prompt, make sure that Port #1 is connected (Link is UP) using the show network physical-port CLI command, as described in Viewing Network Port Status,
By default, Port #1 (GE_1) is mapped to network-if-0.
12. At the prompt, type the following command to save the configuration, reset the device, and activate the new configuration:
# reload now

After the device restarts, connect to its Web interface to continue provisioning. Change the default Admin user login passwords to prevent unauthorized access. For more information, see the device's User's Manual.
