Free IP Address Requirement
With the R4300 BackPack, the default startup configuration is DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), which automatically requests an IP address from your DHCP
server. If you do not have a DHCP server, the R4300 BackPack uses the static IP
address of 192.168.1.251, same as a Blade Switching (BSBP) or Direct Connect
BackPack (DCBP) with an installed Remote Management Card (RMC). This updates
the functionality of the BSBP, which always used a default static IP address and
required configuration.
With the BSBP, each primary Cage with an installed RMC is set to a default static IP
address of 192.168.1.251. Prior to installing a BSBP with RMC, make sure that you do
not have any other devices on your network with this IP address. Instructions for
changing the RMC IP address and network settings are in Remote Management Card
Configuration on page 62 of this manual.
