Hello,
We have in one of our remote sites (whcih is connected using IPVPN network from our provider to the main site) a PLANET media converter which we are using it to connect to a power meter to get readings through Serial RS-232 VirtualCom from the main site.
The MAC address for this media converter is starting with 45xxxxxxx which is a multicast address.
First of all, we couldn't reach that media converter IP address from the main site PING or HTTP MGT access, but we can reach it from the LAN at that remote site. I contacted the ISP in order to add a static ARP entry at the CPE at that remote site and after that static ARP entry adedd i can reach it from the main site.
Now, our problem is when that media converter power loss and re-power on again (or restarted) i can't access it remotely from the main site unless i go to that remote site and connect my laptop LAN there and do a PING from my laptop, after that i can reach it remotely.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
