5.12.4.1 Assigning Computer IP Address in DHCP Client Mode
If the computer is in the DHCP client mode, it will automatically obtain an address from
the front panel RJ45 (Ethernet) connector. Use the following procedure to obtain an
address for the computer. To avoid reboot of the computer refer to Section 5.12.4.2 for
an alternate method.
STEP 1 Connect an ethernet cable between the computer’s RJ45 connector and
the VAX-C front panel RJ45 connector.
STEP 2 Reboot the computer. The computer’s address should now be
192.168.117.yyy, where yyy ranges from 129 to 135.
STEP 3 It should be possible to connect to the VAX-C using the procedure in
5.12.4.3 .
If this procedure fails to assign a compatible IP address to the PC, use the procedure
listed below at 5.12.4.2 on page 5-35.
