Changing the Lanner Default IP Address

Introduction

The Saisei Traffic Manager now ships pre installed on a Lanner 7573A server. This server is shipped with a default static IP address which should be changed prior to installation into a customer network.

This document details how to change the IP in the system prior to usage, the change MUST be made through the STM GUI to ensure that ALL relevant Ubuntu files are modified in accordance with the requirements of the STM itself.

Under no circumstances should a user change the IP by using the Ubuntu shell.

Configuring an External Device IP

The Lanner ships with a default static IP address of 192.168.200.1, mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway of 192.168.200.254.

It is recommended that a PC or Laptop be directly connected to the STM using port 5 on the Lanner which is the Management Ethernet Interface. The connecting device, PC/Laptop should be given an IP configuration of:

IP – 192.168.200.254
Mask – 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway – 192.168.200.1

The Windows setup may be seen as follows: -

Connecting to the STM GUI
