Setting the System IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
From the ::ip=> prompt, type the addr command in the following format then press .
addr <ipaddr> [<netmask>] [<defaultroute>]
Parameters
<ipaddr>
The management card IP address for the Avidia system. This address is based on the
Ethernet network to which the Avidia system is attached (format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). The
default management card IP address is 192.168.0.1.
[<netmask>]
The subnet mask associated with the management card IP address, if a subnet exists. This
address is based on the Ethernet network to which the Avidia system is attached (format
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
[<defaultroute>]
The IP address of a router on the Ethernet network through which the Avidia system can
communicate with external networks (format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
You cannot use IP addresses 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.21.255 with subnet
mask 255.255.255.0 as these addresses are restricted for internal Avidia
system use. In addition, you cannot currently manage the Avidia system in a
supernetting environment in which the IP addressing scheme contains Class
C IP addresses with a Class B subnet mask.
