Change IP via Telnet

Products PMP
1

I have a new PMP450i 900mhz AP that we just installed today. I only have remote access to it.

I have changed the IP via the IP, netmask and netgateway commands then issued a reset command for the unit but when it comes back up it is still only pingable  via 169.254.1.1

From within the unit issuing the same commands shows all the correct IP settings but if I issue an ipconfig from within the unit it shows 169.254.1.1

Hi,

For your question , Are you configuring like below ?

ip -1 <IP Address>

netmask -1 <MASK>

Better to use SNMP or GUI.  We dont gaurantee telnet commands working. 

Thanks,

This is what I use:

In this example lets say our IP is 10.1.1.2/24 and we need it to be 10.1.2.2/24   ..  Remove the Telnet+> the commands follow it.

Telnet+> ip
OUTPUT:

IP (1) addr: 10.1.1.2
IP (2) addr: 192.168.101.2

So from here we see that the IP we want to change is # 1 .  We use that in the next few commands as -1.

Telnet+> ip -1 10.1.2.2                   (Sets theIP Address on IP 1)

OUTPUT:
...Updating Flash...
IP (1) addr: 10.1.2.2
IP (2) addr: 192.168.101.2
++++ System Reset Required ++++

Telnet+> netmask -1 255.255.255.0                    (Sets the subnet mask on IP 1)

OUTPUT:
...Updating Flash...
Subnet Mask (1) addr: 255.255.255.0
Subnet Mask (2) addr: 255.255.255.0
++++ System Reset Required ++++

 

Telnet+> netgateway 10.1.2.1           (Sets the default gateway)

OUTPUT:
...Updating Flash...
Default Network Gateway IP addr: 10.1.2.1

Telnet+> reset                                 (This reboots the Cambium unit)

It is working fine in the internal testing. Could you please provide more details

1. Which build you are trying ?

2. Are you trying on AP or SM ?

3. Is it possible to get the config  file ?
