I need the steps to change the default IP address on an Option 11C/Rls 3.0 to a different IP address. The current address is default at 137.135.128.253; I want to change it to 137.135.128.257. Anybody know how??

ld 117 and the steps are documented there

Thanks for the tip, however I've been using the documentation there with no luck. For example, I type:

NEW HOST OPT_11C_435 137.135.128.257
...and it responds with:
SCH0099 137.135.128.257?
that's NEW HOST (NEW HOST NAME) (NEW HOST IP)
It seems like it doesn't recognize the ip address.

(From online lookup: "SCH0099
"This message appears when the invalid input is detected by themachine. The actual output may vary, according to the input received."
Action: Refer to the following examples for possible output.
Severity: Info)

also tried CHANGE HOST
chg host "primary_enet"IP@137.135.128.257
SCH0099 HOST? ....SAME SCHWARZ!!


My objective is to change the IP of this Opt 11C to 137.135.128.257 (or .259, or .261) so that it is different from the other Option 11C that is already on our elan with Symposium and Call Pilot. This new Option 11C will be a "second site" in our OTM and we need to be able to connect to it over the CLAN - so the IP has to be different that the 1st 11C!

thanks very much for your imput. Hopefully you could type the commands for the change correctly so that I can see what it is that I ain't gettin'. thanks again!!

FYI: this is the new 11c's current settings:
Cabinet # 0
ID Hostname IP Address
1 PRIMARY_ENET 137.135.128.253
2 SECONDARY_ENET 137.135.128.254
3 LOCAL_PPP_IF 137.135.192.4

NEW HOST PRIMARY_ENET 137.35.128.257


is what it looks like in the NTP's
 

This is what I get.

NEW HOST PRIMARY_ENET 137.135.128.257
SCH0099 137.135.128.257?

Stright out of the NTP:

Code:
 Example 1
Configure ELAN IP address for the Ethernet Interface (10BaseT)
Given: Primary IP address: 47.1.1.10 ; Secondary IP address: 47.1.1.11; Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0; Default Gateway IP: 47.1.1.1
Step Action
1 Load Overlay 117
2 Create host entries. Enter one of the following commands:
NEW HOST PRIMARY_IP 47.1.1.10
NEW HOST GATEWAY_IP 47.1.1.1 (if connected to customer LAN)
NEW HOST GATEWAY_IP 47.1.1.1 (if connected to customer LAN)
3 Assign host to primary and/or secondary IP address(es). Enter one of the
following commands:
CHG ELNK ACTIVE PRIMARY_IP
CHG ELNK INACTIVE SECONDARY_IP (for Dual CPU only)
Verify your IP address for Ethernet by entering the PRT ENLK command.
Note: To reuse the active host entry and/or associated IP address, the existing
entry must be removed. Prior to removing the existing enty, you must first create
a temporary host entry and make it active. Out the original host entry, then
proceed to Step 2.
4 Set up Ethernet subnet mask. Enter the command:
CHG MASK 255.255.255.0
Verify subnet mask setting by entering the command: PRT MASK
Note 1: For a single CPU machine, the secondary IP is not used.
Note 2: The secondary IP is accessible only when a system is in split mode.
Note 3: The subnet mask must be the same value used for the system Ethernet network.
Note 4: The system private Ethernet (ELAN subnet) is used for system access and control. Use an
nternet gateway to isolate the system private Ethernet from the Customer Enterprise Network.
Note 5: Routing information is required if an internet gateway or router connects a system private
network (ELAN subnet) to the Customer Enterprise Network.
Note 6: INI is required for the activation of subnet Mask.

Maybe try NEW HOST PRIMARY_IP 137.135.128.257
 
GOT IT, FINALLY: THE PROBLEM WAS THE ACTUAL NUMBER ... .257 WAS SOME KIND OF CONFLICT. I SUCCEEDED WITH :

NEW HOST HOMER 137.135.128.201 !! THEN ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TO MAKE IT THE ACTIVE ELNK WITH:
=> CHG ELNK ACTIVE HOMER
INET Database updated

=> PRT HOST

Cabinet # 0
ID Hostname IP Address
2 SECONDARY_ENET 137.135.128.254
3 LOCAL_PPP_IF 137.135.192.4
4 HOMER 137.135.128.201


No database file exists for cab#1


No database file exists for cab#2


No database file exists for cab#3


No database file exists for cab#4
OK

=> PRT ELNK
ACTIVE ETHERNET: "HOMER" "137.135.128.201"
INACTIVE ETHERNET: "SECONDARY_ENET" "137.135.128.254"
OK

INET Database ACTIVE HOMER
THANKS TO ALL, AND BEST REGARDS.

You don't!!! It stays here so the next person who has the same issue can see what problem you had, and what the fix was to it!

That's why we appreciate replies like yours that said it was fixed and what you did, many times people come in, ask a question, get an answer, and we never hear from them again!

now that I look at it, we should have caught that sooner that 257 is outside the range of IP addresses lol

Glad to see we got this fix . . .

That's one down and 3,542,231 more questions to answer . . .
 
137.135.128.257 is not a valid IP address,that is why it failed. The valid addresses in this subnet would be 137.135.128.1 to 137.135.128.254
