Laptop access Nokia AirScale baseband has ip address range limit

zillah · 4 Mar 2022 at 06:16

Dear folk
Using a laptop to access Nokia AirScale baseband we normally assign 192.168.255.130/24 and no issue for accessing web interface of the device
When I assigned my laptop ip address 192.168.22.10/24 access won’t be granted.
In general how a hardware can control that ?
Thx

When you assign the 192.168.22.0 address to the laptop, have you previously changed the Nokia to use an IP on the same subnet?

How are you in a position of deploying 5G radio hardware without understanding that you need a router to move traffic between subnets?

So AirScale = 192.168.255.130/24 and laptop = 192.168.255.10/24?

What do you mean by "access won't be granted"? Can you ping the AirScale Do you get a login prompt from the AirScale?

As for how a device could do this - easily. Access Control Lists. The AirScale could be set to only allow access to the management interface from a specific IP address or specific IP addresses.

I can't ping it and obviously I won't be able to access the web interface

I guess that would be the cause

Thx for your help

Not necessarily. It's entirely possible that a device will drop ICMP whilst allowing access to the management interface. Ping is a very blunt tool at times.

That image shows the IP address of the AirScale is 192.168.255.129, not 192.168.255.130. Are you definitely using the right IP address?

Yes you are right and the laptop ip was 192.168.255.130 and I will take a snapshoot for laptop ip address as well

I will try that and update
