clear all IP INFO from MC32S card

[whoopsrider]

I have an MC32S card that was booted up in our LAB, the card has the info from our LAB COTs server and CS info. I can change the Elan going through MC32Ssetup or Setleader, but I can not clear the Tlan or the Primary CS

When I try to push the correct info from the element manager i get

WEB2004:
Failed to create TCP socket to a device!


the card shows IP lights, but I'm unable to ping

also on the card hooked up to the back L-adaptor I get

The vxworks image on /p/mainos.sys failed to load

This is on a 1000M running CP4 with 7.5

using a COTs server and the CS is joined, can't join the card because I'm guessing the ip issue

any help would be great, main thing is how do I wipe the card clean

one thing, you need to clearleader not set leader. reboot and run setup.

I agree with wane47. clearleader and reboot card... The card should recieve config from the Call Server without setting ip info manually. Then upgrade and transmit from EM. If that doesn't work I would unregister the CS and other MC32S cards from the security domain and start over from the top.

I've run clearLeader and done the reset. the card has all the IPs on it what I wanted to know is there a way to clear all the IPs on the card?

thanks for the sugestions, tried all that but the card will not push.

The card does not load the OS and there could be something with the Elan, 1 time I was able to start the upgrade to the software, but it failed. saying it could not open the /u/FW file

never was able to hit the card again, going to unregister everything, and bounce it all out the card and try to start over.

Did you get this card from another system? Or was it used and had bootp information already loaded?

If you can log into the card you just need to do the following:

Once you are done here, go back into EM and push the correct loadware to the card. I would disable the card when you do it. Always works better for me, but that's my personal opinion.

Hope this helps - and you are correct, I haven't found this documented anywhere
