How to change IP address if no video card??

I have an Xserve running Tiger with an assigned (static) IP address set in System Preferences. I just moved it from one company to another, so of course the static IP isn't right anymore because now it's on a different network with different numbers. I have a problem changing it in System Preferences though, because it has no monitor - the video card was replaced with a fiberchannel card for the XRaid. I used to run it headless and interact with it via VNC (remotely), but now that its IP address won't let it on our network, I can't reach it via VNC to change the IP. A chicken-and-egg problem - I need to VNC in to change the IP and I can't do it until the IP is correct... Anyone have any ideas - how do I get to the System Preferences and change it to DHCP or a correct static IP?

Connect on the LOM if you have one (Intel Xserve) and if the LOM is configured, or connect on the 9-pin serial line and use bash shell to make the changes or (probably the easiest approach here) set up a completely private and completely isolated LAN with the existing (and wrong) IP addresses (do not connect this LAN to anything other than your client (give it a static "wrong" IP address in the same subnet as the Xserve and its "wrong" address) and your Xserve and your unmanaged network switch) and connect into the Xserve on the existing IP address using your familiar techniques and tools. Once the name is changed, you can set your IP addresses back to what is necessary.

    How to change "home" address on IPhone 5s map app for navigation purposes

    OK I tried that.  I have two apps that need updating and it STILL shows the old Apple ID from the App store.  I even tried logging off iTunes and powering off the phone, then powering it back on and logging in.  Still shows the OLD Apple ID in the app store.  The correct one is showing in the Settings/iTunes.  Any other thoughts?

  • How to change mac address on mac

    i'm sry i'm not sure if this is the right section or not but yeah.... nyways does anyone know how to change mac address on a macbook?

    If you have not updated your OS you can use the following command.
    sudo ifconfig enX ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    You will need to replace the X with your network number and the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx with the mac you want to have.
    Then run
    sudo ifconfig enX down
    sudo ifconfig enX up
    This change will last till your next reboot.
    cheers

  • How to change mac address on time capsule

    Hi there,
    How to change mac address on time capsule?

    There are routers that allow you to create/clone a mac address to whatever you like. Since many companies use the mac address to 'register' a unit connected to it's system, you usually just have to let them know you've changed your router and they will reset your system to accept connections from the new device.

  • How to change billing address to another country?

    how to change billing address to another country?

    Before you change the country, you might want to note the following:
    1) If you have store credit, you must use the credit before you can change countries.
    2) You will need to download all purchased content. In addition, rented items must be past their 30-day expiration. For more information on rentals, please see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
    3) You must provide a payment method, such as a credit or debit card associated with a valid billing address in the new country. An iTunes Store Gift Card issued in the new country is also an acceptable payment method.
    4) After you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it.
    5) If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    6) If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    7) If you have been using iTunes in the Cloud to download past purchases from your Purchased page, these purchases will no longer appear when you change the country.
    That said, you can change the country for your account using a computer using these steps:
    1) Sign in to the iTunes Store.
    2) From the Store menu, select View My Apple ID.
    3) Sign in with your Apple ID.
    4) Click Change Country or Region.
    5) Choose your new country from the menu, and click Change.
    To change the country for your account using an iOS device, check out this article:

    If you change your VIP to a different subnet, then you have to change your Public IP to the same subnet as well (vice versa)..
    You may not have to change your Private IPs (let's say 10.10.10.x) because these are your interconnect addresses and are "private" to the RAC nodes...

  • Apple Airport Express: How To Change IP Address While in Bridge Mode

    Hello, I have a Apple Airport Express router and it has been good for a few years. Just wondering how to change my public IP address. I am also in Bridge mode to a cisco router. Also I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.

    Power cycle the cable modem.. I presume that is what the cisco router is.. your modem.. if not tell us precise model and make of the modem.
    The public IP is not changed by you.. it is changed by your ISP.. normally if you power cycle the modem on a dynamic system you will get a new IP.. if not call the ISP and request them to make a change.
    It is never really necessary unless you got banned from a site.
    I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.
    There is no logical link to needing a new public IP to being on a windows 8 computer.
    Explain more about your problem.

    Check out the built-in Address Book Help guide on your Mac (in Address Book, choose Address Book Help from the Help menu.  I dont think you can change the way the address book looks in terms of changing its appearance to look more book like, but I could be wrong.  I checked out a few google searches and did not find anything that stated how to do what you are asking.  If you find you cant change it to your desired specifications, you can always make the suggestion to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ 

  • How to change IP addresses of APs and WLC to the ones from different VLAN

    I'm trying to figure out what is the best practice to change IP addresses on all my access points connected/managed by the WLC.
    I have one WLC2504 controler and three AIR-LAP1041N access points the idea is to change management IP of the WLC from 192.168.2.100 (vlan1) to 192.168.12.100 (vlan79) and all access points accordingly:
    ap1 192.168.2.101 (vlan1) to 192.168.12.101 (vlan79)
    ap2 192.168.2.102 (vlan1) to 192.168.12.102 (vlan79)
    ap3 192.168.2.103 (vlan1) to 192.168.12.103 (vlan79)
    FYI all my APs obtain IP from DHCP server which sits in the vlan1 and each AP is connected to trunk port on Catalyst switch, trunk port (vlan1, vlan79, vlan80, vlan81, vlan82) carries traffic for different WLANs, so my question is what is the best way to change management IP on each device with the minimal downtime.
    Thank you for your advice,
    Luu Manioro

    Well, you will have downtime anyways, but how I would do this is the following:
    Make sure the WLC trunk port has vlan 79 being allowed
    Change the high availability on each AP to point to the hostname of the WLC and the new ip address, you don't need the old ip address anymore
    Console into the WLC or use the service port and change the management ip address and at the same time if possible, move the AP's to the new vlan 79, since they have already joined the WLC, they will know of the ip address of the WLC
    Reboot the AP by shutting down the PoE port or powering off/on the AP
    The AP will find the WLC since you have defined the high availability and also since the AP and WLC are on the same subnet.
