Default IP address

Default IP address

Luminex devices, including GigaCore switches and LumiNodes, use by default a static IPv4 address. The default static IP address is different for every unit and printed on the serial-number label. This label can typically be found on the back of the device.
  1. GigaCore switches use a default IP address in the 192.168.x.x/16 IP address range.
  2. LumiNodes use a default IP address in the 2.x.x.x/8 IP address range
GigaCore devices and LumiNodes are also reachable by browsing to SERIAL_NUMBER.local. For example: http://lum072001691.local/. 

On Gen2 GigaCore devices and LumiNodes with up-to-date firmware, it is also possible to force the use of IPv6 link-local IP addressing by browsing to SERIAL_NUMBER-ipv6.local. For example http://lum072001691-ipv6.local/. Using IPv6 avoids the need to ensure your computer is configured in the same IP address range as the device.
