We should get access to all switches #6

Closed mitar closed 9 years ago

ahdinosaur commented 10 years ago

what do you mean by "access"?

mitar commented 10 years ago

Aren't all network switches managed ones? So there are only two switches which are visible on the network and have IP .21 and .23. Others listed in ips are not visible (but it seems they work). So how to access them, why they don't have IPs?

ahdinosaur commented 10 years ago

the switches will randomly reset their IP to the factory default, which is something crazy i think in 10.something and somehow all the same. multiple times i've configured them all to have proper IPs, multiple times they've randomly reset back.

mitar commented 10 years ago

How do you learn which IP they have to configure them back?

ahdinosaur commented 10 years ago

it's always the same IP, but i would find it with nmap.

mitar commented 10 years ago

OK.

mitar commented 10 years ago

The issues seem to be that multiple switches are on the same IP, so things don't work so nicely.

mitar commented 10 years ago

Are any switches configured in any special fashion or can we just do a reset? So do they do any "managing" or are they just switches like switches?

ahdinosaur commented 10 years ago

yeah, the same IP thing makes it so you have to configure one at a time. the only configuration on the switches is DHCP blocking to combat rogue DHCP servers.

I've documented how to access all of the switched in the README.
