It is necessary for each managed spine to have a unique IP address for the following reasons:

•Unique IP addresses are used when sending syslog messages from a managed spine to a syslog server.

•Gives the user the ability to ping each management spine separately.

•If the IP addresses are not unique, collisions will occur, causing IP operations to fail.

To update the IP address on managed spine, do the following:

 

 

 

Step 1

Ensure that the spine module is connected to a COM port on a serial terminal device via the RS-232 port.

 

 

 

Step 2

Get to a [boot]: prompt by following Step a or b.

 

 

 

 

a. If the managed spine is running, enter the following command at the console:

 

 

 

 

reboot

 

 

 

 

Then press Enter.

 

 

 

 

b. If the managed spine is not running, power on the switch.

 

 

 

Step 3

After selecting image1 or image2, press the Spacebar to interrupt the auto load sequence before the

 

 

 

 

counter expires (within 5 seconds).

 

 

 

Step 4

At the [boot]: prompt enter the new spine IP address with the following syntax:

 

 

 

 

spineip <NEW IP ADDRESS>

 

 

 

 

Then press Enter.

 

 

 

Step 5

At the [boot]: prompt, enter reboot, and press Enter. Upon reboot the managed spine will display

 

 

 

 

information similar to the following:
