New IP on CIMC won't bring up web interface C240 m6

[alanraczek11]

I am in the middle of setting up a C240 M6 LFF and am trying to setuo CIMC. If I put in a 10.10.10.10, 255.255.255.0 IP scheme I CAN bring up the web interface. If I change the IP to what the network guy gave me I cannot bring up the web interface but I can ping the server. At the moment I am using a laptop and a hub to access the port.

Why would it do this? Could the IP parameters be the blame? Ty.

if you can ping to the configured IP address, that means you have connectivity. after changing the IP try restarting the CIMC

May be you have a Firewall between you and  CIMC IP ? not able to give access to GUI?

what is your network guide give IP ? what is your PC IP?

[alanraczek11]

I restarted the server but still no GUI. IP's as follows

This worked:

10.10.10.10, 255.255.255.0

GW 10.10.10.1

This did not:

10.209.40.64

255.255.254.0

GW 10.209.41.254

is your server directly connected to you laptop via hub? without any other intermediate devices?

[alanraczek11]

Yes, I am directly attached to the hub which is connected to the server. No intermediate devices.My  thought was is the IP scheme I was given valid for subnet and gateway? Or what else could be the issue?

CIMC IP is 10.209.40.64, what is your device IP , are you able to ping CIMC IP  10.209.40.64?

[iheineman]

Did you set the management interface up in the bios to use that 10.209.40.64 as a static IP? You might want to unplug and then plug In the ethernet cable to the management port to reset the nic. 

[Steven Tardy]

Don't know if this is what is happening, but this sounds like a classic/common duplicate IP.

I would `ping 10.209.40.64` and if that IP replies, UNPLUG the CIMC network connection to see if `ping 10.209.40.64` STILL replies.

If it does, then something else on the network has IP: 10.209.40.64

From there `arp -a` to get the MAC address of that IP address and track down that MAC address.

If the ping stops when CIMC is unplugged, then I'm at a loss.

Maybe try SSH'ing to the CIMC IP to verify that the CIMC is the device you're connecting to.
(Could be the web GUI is broken/unusable for some reason.)
