SWC

[Rushank]

Hi,

Did following things to configure Secure Web console.

Reset the webconsole by pressing down the centre button and recycled the power. As per the tech notes now this should have IP address 192.0.0.192

Connected webconsole to the lan, Network status light (green) blinks.
* Trying to ping 192.0.0.192 fails.
* Tried arp -s with a ip with the same subnet of my pc (arp -s ip-address mac address)
Ping still fails.

How can I get this working.
Thanks

Hi Rushank,

It sounds like you've done everything correctly. Are your SWC and PC on the same LAN segment? There cannot be any routers (Layer 3 devices) between the SWC and your PC when you're in this phase of programming.

Cheers,

Did you change the IP of your PC and directly connect to the lan segement?

Hi Rushank,

Did you try the 'route' command ?

syntax: route add desired_ip_address_for_lan_console this_wkstation_ip

HI
For initial configuration of SWC, add the route to reach 192.0.0.192 segment on machine you are using to configure it.

Thanks Jim,

Here it's a mixed network. I'm on same subnet of my PC. But my pc and web console are (May be)connected with routers/hubs If I use cross over cable between network hub to my web console does it work?? ( I'll try it next)
Or is there any way to get this work

Hi Rushank,

Did you add the route to 192.0.0.192 on your workstation,

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/hw/swc/secureweb/install.html

Step 4. Perform Initial Configuration of the SWC.
a. Ensure that no other devices (printers, etc.) are connected, on the same local subnet by disconnecting the LAN cable from the SWC and using the Ping command as follows: C:\ ping 192.0.0.192 It should time out.

b. At a command line prompt, enter the following: C:\route add 192.0.0.192 xx.xx.xx.xx.xx Where xx.xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of your PC or Unix workstation.

c. Reconnect the LAN cable to the SWC and use a PC or Unix Workstation and a web browser, verify that you can access the SWC at its default IP address using the Ping command as follows: C:\ping 192.0.0.192 It should indicate connection with the SWC at IP 192.0.0.192

Hope this helps.

I treied adding route before I tested with arp -s . Without any sucess.

Hi Rushank,

Again, make sure that ur SWC is in a 10MBPS network. Check this out for more help:

Hi again,

Hubs and switches are Layer 2 devices, so they are okay. Just stay away from routers at this stage.

It sounds like your best bet may well be to temporarily put your PC on the 192.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 network and use a crossover cable directly from your PC to the SWC as you have supposed.

Cheers,
Jim
