- Connect the following to your B1-212 appliance:
- The power cable that comes with the appliance.
- An Ethernet cable using the GE 1 port at the back of the appliance. (You must use the GE 1 port to connect the appliance in the initial setup. Once the appliance is up and running, you can use all GE1, GE2, GE3, GE4, GE5, GE6, SFP1 and SFP ports in your configuration.)
Note: On the Cloud Services Portal, the GE 1 port appears as en01, GE 2 as en02, GE 3 as en03, GE 4 as en04, GE 5 as en05, GE 6 as en06, SFP1 as en07 and SFP2 as en08.
- Power up the appliance by pressing the power button and releasing it quickly. If your network has DHCP service available, your B1-212 appliance will automatically receive an IP address and BloxOne DDI can detect the appliance and its IP address.
Note: Once you power up the appliance, the appliance automatically enters the Awaiting Approval state. You can now log in to the Cloud Services Portal to approve or deny the host connection. - If your network does not have DHCP servers available, the appliance will fall back to the default IP address 192.168.1.2. Configure the B1-212 appliance through an internet browser. To do so, the management PC or workstation on which you open the browser must have an IP address in the same subnet as the B1-212 appliance (for example, use 192.168.1.0/24 if your network does not have a DHCP server).
- Open the internet browser on the management PC or workstation and enter http://192.168.1.2 or http://<allocated_IP> if the IP address was allocated via the DHCP server in your network.
- The bootstrap interface appears in the browser. Based on whether you are using DHCP or a static IP, select the respective Network Mode, and then enter the required IP address information.
- Click Apply Changes on the bootstrap UI to submit the configuration changes.
