8-, 16-, 32-, 48-Port Advanced Console Servers Quick Start Guide
NOTE: The computer connected to the LAN must have an IP address in the same
network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the Advanced Console Server. Alternately,
you can use the ARP ping command to set the IP address (refer to the user’s
manual). The embedded DHCP client is enabled by default, so it will
automatically accept any network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on
your network—and will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP
address.
Figure QS-1. System Administration screen.
4. To assign your Console Server a static IP address or to permanently enable DHCP,
select “System: IP” and check “DHCP or Static for Configuration Method.”
The Advanced Console Server also has a second Ethernet network port (Network 2)
that you can configure as a management gateway/LAN port (with firewall/router
isolation and DHCP server) or as a failover/OoB access port. By default, this port is
inactive.
To activate broadband failover/OoB, refer to the user’s manual, otherwise leave
Failover Interface at its default selection, None.
To use Network 2 as the management LAN gateway:
1. Select “System: IP” then “Network 2” and uncheck “Disable.”
2. Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask for this segment of the Management LAN
(leaving Gateway and DNS fields blank). Refer to the user’s manual if you want to
enable the DHCP server.
NOTE: By default, only HTTPS and SSH access is enabled to the Advanced Console
Server itself. Use the Service Access menu on “System: Firewall” to change
this, and to change access privileges for connected serial and network devices.
Similarly, use the “Forwarding & Networking” menu to permit remote IP
access to devices on Network of Management LAN.
