IP Address related questions

Just upgraded → victron modbus doesn’t function anymore (echo unreach); EV input node is also not working (can’t select the divers paths).

Local acces to node red also not working anymore.

update : just see that IP adres off the cerbo changed from 205 to 206 ; @mpvader why ?

I’m not sure what version you upgraded from or what kind of DHCP server you have in your local network, but this can happen sometimes.
If a device (in this case your cerbo) uses a different dhcp client identifier (this can happen after a software upgrade), some DHCP servers can see that as a new dhcp lease (and thus give out the next available IP address) instead of a renew of the old IP lease.

From Beta 70.24

205 is the standard IP adres in the Cerbo ; locally he get’s a new that is normal.

I have no idea what you’re talking about but it’s not making sense.
Do you mean the link-local IP address? That one is pretty much random.
Last option I can think of would be the Hotspot IP.

IP adres is normally ending with .205 and now its .206 this value is standard also in all the manuals mentioned to get local acces to cerbo.

Link lokaal IP adres → is changing that is normal

You’re posting a screenshot but all the relevant information has been left out.
There is no standard .205 IP address in a GX device and I can’t find any manual that points to such an IP.

Therefor I can only repeat my previous answer: after the upgrade, your local network gave the next available IP address to your Cerbo.
This sometimes happens and it’s not caused by a specific change on Victron’s side.

Bart,

I was wrong , changed the automatic to fixed IP adres.

Didn’t knew that it could change as more then one installation and all have the same IP.

Problem solved thx for the information!

Use IP-adress reservation on your router/mesh/modem, whoever is handling the DHCP.
