set ip 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0

 

end

3Confirm that the address is correct. Enter:

get system manageip

The CLI lists the management IP address and netmask.

To configure DNS server settings

1Set the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses. Enter

config system dns

set primary <address_ip> set secondary <address_ip>

end

Example

config system dns

set primary 293.44.75.21 set secondary 293.44.75.22

end

To configure the default gateway

1Make sure that you are logged into the CLI.

2Set the default route to the default gateway that you recorded in Table 9 on page 42. Enter:

config router static edit 1

set dst 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

set gateway <address_gateway> set device <interface>

end

Example

If the default gateway IP is 204.23.1.2 and this gateway is connected to port 2:

config router static edit 1

set dst 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 set gateway 204.23.1.2 set device port2

end
