16483   How to change the IP Address of a E10000 Control Board   7 Apr 1998

Description Top

Changing the IP Address of the Control Boards in an E10000
require more work than just editing the /etc/hosts file.

If only the hosts file is changed, the resulting cb_reset 
fails in the following way

ON SSP 3.0
==========

beer% cb_reset
Resetting host snax-cb0...
Resetting host snax-cb1...
Failed to reset host snax-cb0
Failed to reset host snax-cb1

ON SSP 3.1
==========

snax-ssp:pizza% cb_reset
Resetting host snax-cb0...
Resetting host snax-cb1...
Failed to receive acknowledgment from cb snax-cb0
Failed to receive acknowledgment from cb snax-cb1
snax-ssp:pizza% 

and in the messages file for the SSP errors similar to the following
will be seen.

Checking in the /tftpboot file is will be seen that indeed the
tftpboot file does not exist

snax-ssp:pizza% cd /tftpboot
snax-ssp:pizza% ls

819931B8                         rm.129.153.49.184

On both SSP3.0 and SSP3.1 the command ssp_config needs to be run
to re-register the new IP Address and set the boot files up.
