Using the Console Connection to Configure the Appliance
If you use a console connection (a direct serial connection to the console
port) to configure your IP700 Series appliance, you are prompted for the
appropriate configuration settings the first time you turn it on. The first
prompt asks you to supply a host name. If you wait more than
approximately 30 seconds before you type anything in response to the
host name prompt, the DHCP client program starts automatically, and the
system might be provided a host name and IP address that is unknown to
you. (This could happen if there is a DHCP server on your network that is
configured to supply configuration information to any system that
requests it.)
In this situation, you will not be able to connect to the IP700 Series
appliance over the network (because you don't know the appliance IP
address or host name). To resolve the problem, follow these steps:
1.
Establish a console connection to the system.
2.
Enter the following:
rm /config/active
or
mv /config/active /config/active.old
3.
Reboot the IP700 Series appliance.
4.
Respond to the configuration prompts in a timely manner.
