IP addressing for networked and DAS connections

Make sure your anti-virus, firewall or VPN security settings allow port access to Lyve Client.

State Access type Port
Before device discovery The application and device must be able to communicate via SLP. UDP port 427
After device discovery The application and device must be able to communicate via SSH. TCP port 22


In both states, it is assumed that the device has been assigned an IP address by a local DHCP server or has been assigned a static IP address.

  • All Lyve Mobile devices are in DHCP mode by default. If an IP is not assigned via DHCP, the device will generate its own IP address: 169.254.100.123.
  • Any host on the same subnet can see the device and communicate with it using this address.
    • In DAS mode via a Thunderbolt/USB-C connection, this is the address that is used to communicate with the device.
