Changing the IP address on Nokia FW

[ahannah]

Hi

Noob question here -

i needed to change the IP address on one of our Nokia FW.

I thought it just as straightforward as changing to the new IP address within Voyager and then SPlat?

But after doing this i can no longer access the Web Voyager (but can connect via serial putty). The nokia still seems to responding to a ping on its old address


Can anyone help? - is it possible to resolve this by only accessing the Clish???

Regards and thnx in advance

Connect to an interface you do not have to change. Then change the IP address in Voyager, then on the check point object and then push the policy.

If you cannot connect to another interface (for what reason ever), then make sure you get a maitenance window that's long enough :) and connect to the box. Unload the policy (fw unloadlocal), change the interface address in voyager - you will loose connectivity as soon as you apply the settings - and reconnect to the new address. That should work, as far as I know.

Thanks Dominik

Just out of interest - is there a way to find out what IP address the Nokia box has when your logged on to the CLI rather than Voyager?

"ifconfig" will do this for you.

Usage: ifconfig <interface>
Example: ifconfig eth1c0

In clish there are a number of commands:
show interface # lists all interfaces with all settings
add interface eth1c0 address 192.168.29.54/24 enable # will set the ETH1C0 interface IP
Mostly forgotten in this case is the routing that is associated with the new IP range:
set static-route default nexthop gateway address 192.168.29.2 priority 1 on # to add a new staic route
set static-route 172.23.124.150/32 nexthop gateway address 192.168.29.50 on # to add a new static route.

ifconfig did the trick showing it hs the correct\expected IP address.

Still unable to access Voyager or ping the FW - even after unloading the local policy. I guess this is a routing issue

Maarten - the commands you provided dont seem to work - do i type them in at the CLI as written? Show Interface brings back Command not found.

Thanks for all your replies so far - most helpful
