How To Change Fingerprint

This document summarizes changing the fingerprint identifier of radio units (RUs) in an Ericsson radio base station (RBS6000) from one value to another. It shows logging into the base station cabinet, checking the current fingerprint, preparing the new fingerprint value, writing it to the RUs, restarting the node to trigger a vote, and confirming the new fingerprint was adopted. The process demonstrates how to manually change the fingerprint value stored on RUs using LHM shell commands.

Now for a Real Life example .

Here we have a typical rbs6000 configured with 6 RUs


in 3x2 layout .

If we check the fingerprint in that node we can see that at the moment it is set

This is located in the DUW . Ok, lets see the printout from the RU�s :

Now if we compare them , at first glance they might look different , but after
decoding the hex bytes , we see that 34 is 4 and 39 is 9 and 32 is 2 and so on � .
Lets say that we want to change this �new� fingerprint back to the original one
that used to be :
123456_123456
So we prepare our fingerprint by converting it to ASCII where 1 becomes 31 , then 2
would be 32 , at the end of the conversion we have :
31 32 33 34 35 36 5f 31 32 33 34 35 36

Now lets change the RUs to the new number :


Rbs6000> lh ru nodeid write 31 32 33 34 35 36 5f 31 32 33 34 35 36

Checking them we see that the new value has been set .

At this point the DUW still has the old value stored , that is because the voting
has not taken place yet , it will once the node has started .

So the last step is to perform a manual restart on the rbs :

Rbs60000> acc 0 manualrestart

Now when the voting starts the DUW is going to be outvoted just like George Bush in
the last American Election ,� ah wait a minute , he was not even there �. Anyway
you get the idea .

Lets have a look at the finger print after the node has completed the restart :

Rbs6000> get all finger

There we have it one successful hack implemented . All that we need to do now is to
load in our original license key file and we are back to normal .
