How to change management IP on Acmepacket Net-Net 4500

Tweet

1. A console cable doesn’t come with device, Acmepacket/Net-Net 4500 (don’t know why). Recommended making a one, if you don’t want to buy one. It won’t be hard to make one, but hassle. You can access box thru management port(0) with default IP/ 172.42.101.91/16.

 

2. Default login/pwd = admin / packet. You must change the default login info.

 

3. If you want to access the Acmepacket / NN4500 thru console cable, speed(Baud rate) should  be 115200. 9600 or other speed won’t let you in.

 

4.Type below commands. To scroll the screen, keep on hitting " Enter " key

 

ACMESYSTEM# conf t
ACMESYSTEM(configure)# bootparam

‘.’ = clear field;  ‘-‘ = go to previous field;  q = quit

boot device             : eth0
processor number        : 0
host name               : host
file name               : /code/images/nnSCX620p1.xz
inet on ethernet (e)    : 172.42.101.91:ffff0000
inet on backplane (b)   :
host inet (h)           : 172.42.254.101
gateway inet (g)        : 172.42.0.1
user (u)                : vxftp
ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh)     : vxftp123
flags (f)               :
target name (tn)        : ACMESYSTEM
startup script (s)      :
other (o)               :

NOTE: These changed parameters will not go into effect until reboot.  Also, be aware that some boot parameters may also be changed through PHY and Network Interface Configurations.

 

5.  In order to change the default managment IP, type "bootpara" again and keep on hitting until " inet on ethernet(e) " line is located. And just type new IP address. (ex 10.10.10.7/24)

 

inet on ethernet (e)    : 172.42.101.91:ffff0000 10.10.10.7:ffffff00
 

6. The new configuration will be saved automatically

 

7. Reboot

ACMESYSTEM(configure)# exit
ACMESYSTEM# reboot
