We have two Sextant’s, running ver. 5.11 on a simple Point-to-Point link. Recently, I needed to change the IP addresses of the devices. That went well.
While changing the IP addresses, I also changed the IP/Services, to allow management. Unfortunately, I changed them to 0.0.0.0. Now I cannot access them via IP or mac. It appears I should have changed them to 0.0.0.0/0.
Is there any way to access these, Layer2 or Layer3, without having to climb and push the reset button?
Thanks !
Yes, I have tried:
Winbox by IP and by mac.
Neighbor viewer (mac telnet)
Telnet and SSH by IP.
The units ping, and pass their bridge traffic, but I cannot get into them.
Tried to see if they would PXE boot from netinstall, but they do not, They boot the installed 5.11 OS.
I suppose I’ll have to climb, reset them, and re-configure. Inconvenient, as they are about 40 miles away, one on a tower, and the other on a building about 1.2 miles from there. (and it’s cold!)
