Assign a Known IP Address to the Appliance’s MAC Address
Most routers with embedded DHCP servers will allow administrators to assign
an IP address (in the range of assignable addresses) to a device with a specific
MAC address. The process follows:
1. Find the appliance’s MAC address on the back panel. It is of the form
Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.
2. Define a rule in the router to assign IP address X.X.X.X to the device
with MAC address Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.
3. Reboot the appliance by pressing the power button on the front panel.
The Arkeia Physical Appliance will wait for one minute to receive a
DHCP response.
4. Point a Web browser to X.X.X.X to gain access to the appliance.
Continue configuring the appliance in the following section (2.4).
