Question
How do I reconfigure the RSA II adapter?
Answer
The default network address for the RSA II adapter is:
- IP address: 192.168.70.125
- Subnet: 255.255.255.0
The RSA II LAN settings are available in the server BIOS.
Tip: You may also modify these settings by connecting to the service processor port using a cross-over cable and opening a Web browser to the card’s default IP address: 192.168.70.125
To change the IP settings in the server BIOS, do the following:
1. Boot or reset the server and press F1 when prompted to enter Setup.
2. Select the Advanced Setup → RSA II Settings. The RSA II menu opens, as shown below:
3. Set your static IP settings. You can change host name in the Web interface. Enter the following IP setting in the DHCP Control field:
– Use Static IP
Configure the RSA II LAN interface to fit in your LAN segment. Use the right and left arrow keys for selection.
4. In the OS USB Selection field, select Linux OS. Use the right and left arrow keys to make the selection.
The purpose of this selection is to prevent a known problem with Linux and its generic human interface device (HID) driver. Linux cannot establish USB communication with the RSA II using the generic HID (which Windows uses). By selecting Linux OS, it makes the RSA II appear as an OEM HID instead of a generic HID, which then functions properly.
5. Select Save the Values and Reboot RSA II, and then press Enter.
6. Exit the utility.
7. Save the settings and restart the ASM. The RSA2 adapter is restarted and the new settings are enabled.
Tip: This process can take up to 20 seconds before you can ping the new IP address of the RSA II adapter.
