In our professional endeavors, we frequently encounter scenarios where network setups involve the modification of device IP addresses. These scenarios, outlined below with insights from IPHTML, shed light on various approaches to handle such situations effectively.

 

1.Understanding Device IP

 

Poolip Software Engineers suggest a direct connection between a laptop and the device, ensuring both share the same subnet. For instance, consider a device with the IP address 10.171.67.132, subnet mask 255.255.0, and gateway 10.171.64.1. Modify the laptop's network IP to 10.171.67.140, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and gateway 10.171.64.1, aligning it within the device's subnet.

2.Unfamiliar with Device IP

 

Utilize the configTool tool to establish a direct connection with the device and search the subnet to locate its IP. Adjust the laptop's IP accordingly and then modify the device's IP, ensuring both devices operate within the same LAN environment.

3.Within the Same LAN

In cases involving multiple devices within the same LAN, knowing the device's subnet (e.g., 10.171.67.132) and subnet mask (255.255.255.0) is crucial. Connect the laptop directly to the router, modify its subnet to 10.171.67.140, with the same subnet mask and gateway (10.171.64.1). Proceed to adjust the IP addresses of all devices accordingly.

4.Device Access Issues

On a laptop with the IP 10.171.67.132, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and gateway 10.171.64.1, ensure access to the IP within the LAN environment. Use ping to verify network connectivity. If discrepancies arise, confirm accessibility to the gateway by pinging 10.171.64.1. If successful, the IP may be invalid or already in use. In such instances, reconfiguration becomes necessary to rectify the issue.
