Issue with resolving ip adress of a deployed platform

Jakob Agustsson

Hi, for some reason my GR node cannot communicate with a platform after I restarted it (platform name SCADA-SMS) . The log on the platform in question says. 

1. ResolveIPAddr couldn't resolve IP SCADA-SMS. It has a valid format, but cannot be resolved.

2. Address SCADA-SMS was resolved to 169.254.156.200 

3. bind() to address 169.254.156.200 failed with error 10049

the correct ip is 10.4.20.206 so the adress on the platform is not correct.

any ideas?

    Are you using DHCP? It sounds like the machine did not get an address assigned from the DHCP server. Trying something like ipconfig /renew might get the correct address set. It could also be an issue if you have more than one NIC in the machine.

    An IP address beginning with 169.254 is called an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) IP address. APIPA is a feature in operating systems that allows a device to automatically assign itself an IP address if it can't get one from a DHCP server.  is right that your platform machine lost the contact to DHCP.

    Hi,

    the platform had two nic's one was supposed to be inactive, for some reason it had a red cross over it instead of being shown inactive,  I had the IT department inactivate it properly, and then the galaxy could communicate with the platform again. this platform was hosting WIN-911 only, i was updating W911 to the newest version when it happened.  Thank you so much for your help guys!
