I cannot connect my VLP-16 to LidarView or VeloView using the sensor configure option. I am also not seeing any UDP location in wireshark. I also cannot access the web ui but can ping the lidar.

Please review the following post to find a Velodyne sensor. Based on the view above, if the sensor does not find the host name in its Configuration on the network, it will not begin sending packets:

Please reply back if you are still not seeing data.

We believe OP worked with support and was able to resolve it. The Host (Destination) address was set to 192.168.1.77 but the IP Address was set to 10.0.X.X and the gateway was set to 10.0.Y.Y
If the network configurations are unknown to the user, we advise:

  1. Check ethernet port link lights are on to verify a connection has been established

  • DHCP configured sensor: run arp -a

  • Connect the sensor to a directly to a computer and run a packet capture (e.g. wireshark, tcpdump) on the whole NIC/port

    • OP filters for the host destination address in their screenshot
    • packet capture example with a sensor on 192.168.1.201:
      • $ sudo tcpdump -i en8
        Password:
        tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]… for full protocol decode
        listening on en8, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 524288 bytes
