Status IP

Status IP

The Ethernet port on the Access Navigator provides an Internet Protocol (IP) interface. Currently, the show ip and status ip commands produce the same message, listing the IP address and subnet mask, and the gateway address.

Syntax: show ip

Syntax: status ip

Message:

IP Address and Mask:

192.168.118.65 255.255.255.0

IP Address of the Gateway: 192.168.0.250

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.

 

Mask

The Access Navigator uses a subnet mask to identify the

 

 

permissible range of addresses for each IP address. Large

 

 

networks are usually divided into smaller subnetworks, each with

 

 

an assigned range of IP addresses. 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.

 

Gateway

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.
