Set Ethernet Properties

NOTE: Ethernet is required for Telnet, SNMP, and NetworkValet™ EMS. Ethernet functions can only be provisioned through an RS-232 management session. If you are not going to use the Ethernet port, do not make any connections to it.

1.Show current Ethernet IP settings with the following command: show ip

The following is a typical message:

IP	Address	and Mask:	192.168.0.233	255.255.255.0
IP	Address	of Gateway	192.168.0.250

NOTE: IP Address – Each Access Navigator on the same Ethernet network must have a unique static Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses have the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a decimal number between 0 and 255. For example, 192.168.0.123 is a valid IP address. Note that the address contains only three periods, one between each of the four numbers. If the Ethernet interface is not used, type none for the IP address.

NOTE: Subnet Mask – The Access Navigator uses a subnet mask to identify the permissible range of IP addresses on the local network. Large networks are usually divided into smaller subnetworks, each with an assigned range of IP addresses.

Addresses outside the subnetwork will be directed to the Gateway address. Subnet masks have the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a decimal number between 0 and

255.Subnet masks usually start with one or more groups of 255. Typical examples include 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0. If a subnet mask is not used, type none or leave blank.

NOTE: Gateway Address – A gateway is any device that passes packets from one network to another network in their trip across the Internet. Gateway addresses have the same format as IP addresses. If a gateway address is not used, you must enter none for the gateway address.

NOTE: MAC Address – The Ethernet media access control (MAC) address is fixed by hardware and can not be changed. You can use the show ethernet command to display the MAC address, a hexadecimal number such as 00-E0-97-AB-CD-EF, as well as the Ethernet IP address and mask.

2. If Ethernet settings are correct, skip remaining steps.
