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 a managed spine, do the following:
1. Ensure that the spine module is connected to a COM port on a serial terminal
device via the RS-232 port.
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 now
Then press Enter.
b. If the managed spine is not running, power on the switch.
3. When the system displays image1 or image2, press the Spacebar to interrupt
the auto load sequence before the counter expires (within 5 seconds).
4. At the [boot]: prompt type the following:
sp ineip <N E W IP A D D R E SS> <GATEW AY IP ADDRESS>
Then press Enter.
