3088/I Getting Started Guide 4 • Ethernet & WAN PPP config and status

IP configuration

The most commonly used technique for changing the IP address and subnet mask is in the initial configura- tion via the console port. However you can also change the IP address in the web GUI pages. In the Configu- ration web pages is located the section for changing these two parameters. Enter the IP address and subnet mask to be used and click on the Update button.

After this change, you must change the IP address in your browser to login and view the web pages again. Be sure to save the changes into non-volatile memory. (See “Saving the configuration” on page 38.)

Ethernet port configuration

The Ethernet port rarely needs to be reconfigured. However a wealth of Ethernet statistics are available when analyzing network performance.

Ethernet Basic Port Attributes

Click on the Ethernet hyperlink to see the basic Ethernet statistical parameters. Important statistics include the link speed, full- or half-duplex operation, the MAC address, collisions and errors. This is primarily a diagnostic tool.
