Configuring an IP Address, $ ifconfig eth0

3 Target Setup

Configuring an IP Address

By default, the target device (MatchPort AR, XPort Pro, or EDS1100 / 2100) will attempt to obtain an IP address via the DHCP protocol. Type the following command at the Linux shell prompt to determine the IP address:

$ ifconfig eth0

The ifconfig command can also be used to set an address, but it will not persist across a reboot.

To set a temporary static address, issue the following command (replace angle bracketed items with actual values):

$ ifconfig eth0 <target_ip_address> <target_subnet_mask>

To set a static address that persists across reboots:

1.Use the vi text editor to edit /usr/local/etc/netcfg. (Consult a vi manual for details on using this text editor).

2.Add the following lines to the netcfg file (replace angle bracketed items with actual values)

IPADDR=<target_ip_address> NETMASK=<target_subnet_mask> GATEWAY=<target_gateway_address>

3.Write the changes to the file and exit the from the vi editor.

4.Issue the ‘reboot’ command to reset the target for changes to take effect.
