Configuring the IP address and subnet mask

You may use any of four methods to configure the CCM IP address and subnet mask: AVWorks, BootP, Telnet Command Line Interface (CLI) or the serial CLI on port 1.

These methods work as documented on most Windows® and UNIX® systems; however, the actual implementation on your system may differ from the instructions provided. Refer to your system administrator guide, or use AVWorks to simplify CCM configuration.

To configure the IP address and subnet mask using AVWorks:

Using the AVWorks installation wizard is the easiest method to configure the CCM IP address and subnet mask. See the AVWorks Installer/User Guide for instructions. After the IP address and subnet mask are configured, see Initial CCM login in this chapter.

To configure the IP address and subnet mask using BootP:

1.Ensure that there is a BootP server on your network that is configured to correctly respond to a BootP request from the CCM. BootP servers require the Ethernet MAC address of network devices. The CCM Ethernet MAC address is located on the back of the unit. See your BootP server’s system administrator guide for information about configuring the BootP server.

2.After you have configured your network’s BootP server with the CCM Ethernet MAC address, IP address and subnet mask, restore power to the CCM and wait for the ONLINE LED to illuminate. Once this occurs, the CCM has completed the BootP protocol, obtained its IP address and subnet mask and stored these in FLASH.

3.You may verify that the BootP process was successful with a ping command, which tests network connectivity. The ping command is entered as:

ping <ip_address>

For example, the following command tests the network connectivity of a CCM with the IP address 192.168.0.5.

ping 192.168.0.5

4.If the CCM completes the BootP successfully, you will see a display similar to the following.
