HP E1200-320 manual Tips for manipulating Dhcp within Visual Manager

Visual Manager

To access the interface card using the Visual Manager interface:

1.Look up the current IP address within the Ethernet Configuration menu using the serial interface.

2.Type the IP address in the Web browser without using “www” or “/” or any other characters or symbols.

3.After entering the IP address, the user should see the Configuration Main menu. Click on the Configuration link. This will access the Configuration Menu containing CURRENT/NEW readings for DHCP (“Use DHCP”). The following 3 DHCP-relevant options are also listed:

•Ethernet IP address,

•Subnet mask, and

•Gateway IP address.

Tips for manipulating DHCP within Visual Manager

1.To change the current state of DHCP, change its status to enabled or disabled, submit the change and then reboot.

2.To reboot, click the Reboot link from the main menu, select Yes in the confirmation message, and then submit.

3.The gateway address should have the same subnetwork (1st three bytes) as the IP address. For example, an IP address of 192.168.100.93 may have a gateway of 192.168.100.1. However, an unavailable gateway value appearing under the CURRENT section of the Configuration menu means the DHCP server was unable to get the gateway address. If this happens, contact the network administrator to make sure the DHCP server is providing this information, or manually change the gateway address yourself.

Now you should be able to access the new IP address displayed within the Ethernet Configuration menu using Visual Manager.
