Xserve Remote Diagnostics 1.0 displays IP of DHCP server
In some situations, Xserve Remote Diagnostics may show the IP address of the DHCP server, rather than the IP address of the computer hosting the diagnostic software.
Products Affected
Xserve
Symptom
On an admin computer running Xserve Remote Diagnostics 1.0, whenever any Xserve G5 connects to the admin computer to be diagnosed, information is displayed on the Xserve G5 about the specific NetBoot server from which the diagnostics software was loaded. For example, the line may look like this:
00:03:93:F5:1D:28 04/06/04 14:43:55 Booted from: 17.254.0.91
However, if the remote Xserve G5 is commanded into diagnostics mode from the admin computer, the information displayed about the specific NetBoot server that is hosting the diagnostics may show the DHCP server's IP address rather than the NetBoot server's IP address.
