Netgate Xg-7100-1U
-
Hello,
I conducted the basic configuration setup wizard and it proceeded to step 9. It attempted to reboot, however, it never appeared to reboot. I waited about 30 mins and tried refreshing the page, and now I cannot access the netgate at 192.168.1.1. I've tried resetting it using the reset button, however, it does nothing. I've powered it down a few times, removed power, then turned it back on. Still nothing. Is there a way to reset this other than the console, as I cannot connect that way either?
Is there a way to try and boot from a USB containing software of an older version? I appreciate any help and would like to thank you in advance!

@LMorefield I don't remember what step 9 is...? If you changed the LAN IP you would need to change the IP on your computer to match.
The console will show any error messages during boot:

@LMorefield You may need to resolve the console problem. That is the only way to see what has went wrong and I think the only way to re-install from USB. The console cable is simply a Mini-USB cable. It is not a serial cable, the serial to USB HW is in the 7100.

Mmm, most likely scenario here is that the LAN subnet changed and you need to reconnect the client so it pulls a new lease in the new subnet.
