[cisco-voip] Replacing motherboard in MCS-7815-I2 server -- Ethernet issues

[Erick Bergquist]

FYI,

The solution to this was to reinstall the system from scratch.   :(   :(

We worked with TAC for along time and different people there and
developers but could not get past this MAC address issue and could not
get the Eth0 to take a IP Address with a motherboard swap.

Has anyone had a hardware failure with the system motherboard on CCM
5.x and didn't have to reinstall from scratch?

The set network commands did not save the settings, it seems. On
reboot the network setting changes made did not take effect. When you
issued the set network ip command to change the IP address, it would
prompt yes for changes and to reboot but did not automatically reboot
after typing yes.

Anyone go through this before with CCM 5.x on a IBM box? I just would
like to find a better way for the future as there has to be a way to
get the eth0 working again and set a IP address, upload new license,
and get on with life.
