Hi Bunty ,

Can you login to GSP ?

Then you can use this command after loggin from GSP , to revert it back:

# ifconfig lan0 170.120.1.14
# ifconfig lan0 UP


and check.

Bunty ,

If you can login through GSP IP , you can check the status of lan0 , check if it shows UP , in ifconfig command.

Else you need to make it up with the above cmmand.

Hopefully you have your GSP/MP accessible from where you are, either over the network or by modem. If you don't have remote console access, hopefully you have someone on site who can undo the configuration at the physical console. Network settings are best manipulated while logged in via the GSP/MP to avoid accidentally making changes that make the server inaccessible through it's regular network interfaces.

how to check the GSP IP.
i dont know it.
please suggest

Bunty ,

GSP IP cannot be determined from the system, it is the IP used to manage the server , and can be start , shutdown , reset ,poweroff and many more function can be done from a remote place.

When you logs into the GSP you gets console access.

GSP IP has to be notedown after the server is installed, and after GSP is configured and connected to network.

Which model the server is.

You might check with your onsite person , to login using the onsite console and check the above things , if no GSP is available.

Check out from your documents , if you can find GSP IP , and get GSP access , or need to contact onsite help.

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

can also bring it to original state.
