Page 15: Setting Up The Xrpi2
There are 3phases to setting up the XRPi2: 1. Connecting to the XRPi2. There are 2 ways to do this. 2. First-time setup, in which you configure an IP address on the XRPi2 so that you can access it over a network.
Page 16: First-Time Setup
First-time Setup For a new XRPi2, you need to connect to the XRPi2, and then configure its IP addresses so that you can access it over your network. Once you can access it over the network, you can use a web browser to perform more in-depth setup using the web setup.
Page 17 Setting up the XRPi2 xrpi2-<last 5 digits of MAC address> The MAC address is on the label on the bottom of the XRPi2. At this point, you can do either of two things: Exit the initial setup, and move on to the web setup.

Page 20: Upgrading The Xrpi2
Ixia supplies two utilities (scripts) that you can use to upgrade the XRPi2. Operating System Upgrade Upgrading the operating system is necessary to keep the XRPi2 updated with the latest Linux security patches. To upgrade the operating system, the probe must have access to the Internet. There is no way to upgrade the operating system without access to public servers.
Page 21: Upgrading Through Hawkeye
To upgrade against an Hawkeye server, type the following command: xrpi2_upgrade <online/offline><HawkeyeIP> <HawkeyeIP> : Hawkeye server IP or URL that the XRPi2 will use as the reference server for downloading the upgrade files. This is only used if the upgrade is performed offline.
Page 22 1. Login to Hawkeye and display the Probe Management window. 2. Select the XRPi2 that you want to upgrade, and then click + to expand its status. 3. If Upgrade Process Status displays No upgrade in process, click Upgrade Probe to start the upgrade.
