GSP IP Address

[John McWilliams_1]

Hello All

On one of the L1000 servers I support no one knows the lan console / GSP IP address. I do not want to reboot the server. Is there a way I can see the address by using a unix command or is a reboot with a console the only way ?

Thanks John

No need to reboot. If you have a serial console attached just do a CTRL-B to go to the GSP and log in. You can then do all GSP commands. Type 'help' at the prompt and they will be listed. You should be able to figure out from there which command to use to look at the GSP config.

When you are done, just type 'CO' at the GSP prompt to go back to the Unix login.

Hi John McWilliams

Yep, no need to reboot the server.
In general, can connect to GSP with 2 ways:
1. By Serial console
2. By Lan console.
If you don't know IP address of LAN console, you can connect with Serial console.
Then Cnrl+B to enter to GSP mode.
The out put like this:
Service Processor login:
Service Processor password:

Check for Lan ipaddress with LS command, the out put like this:

GSP> ls


LS

LAN configuration:
. MAC Address : 0x00306e2e9516
. IP address : 192.168.0.20
. GSP Host Name : John
. Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
. Gateway address : 192.168.0.1
. Web Console Port Number : 2023

LAN status: UP and RUNNING

You have to make sure that the Lan's status must be in UP and RUNNING!
In some case, the status is DOWN so that you can not connet to GSP by Lan console!

If the Lan console doesn't assign the specific IP address, you can do it with LC command.
Just follow the instruction when changing all of GSP'lan console information.

You should set password for GSP console for security! because it is *VERY* dangerous if there is someone known the GSP password....they even can POWER OFF your server. :(:(
Use SO command to set the GSP'administrator or Operator password....

Hope this helps and goodluck to you

Hi John,
You can issue the command "ls" at the GSP prompt then will get the value of the lan interface.

1. Connect serial cable to PC or Console Monitor.
2. Press cntl+B
3. Guadian Service Provider ID : <- enter
Password : <- enter
4. GSP> lc

Confirm your Lan Console IP.
You can also modify your ip with this command.

Just Connect to GSP port by serial console (DB9 Connector) and do as following:
1. Press Cntl+b
2. Enter username and password of GSP (default is blank)
3. At GSP prompt type LC (Lan Configuration)
GSP>LC.


This command allows you to modify the LAN configuration.
Current configuration:

MAC Address : 0x00306e2e9516
IP Address : 10.0.0.89
GSP Host Name : ABB
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 10.0.0.1
Web Console Port Number: 2023
Do you want to modify the LAN configuration? (Y/[N]) n

Hope this help

Thanks everyone - looks like I need to connect a serial console. I was hoping to do it from within unix rather than via the console.
