For example, to assign a default gateway of 9.67.46.238 to the

token_ring_10 segment on the ShuntBus, you must use the following command:

8260A> set ip default_gateway 9.67.46.238 token_ring_10

Note that DMM will use the IP address assigned to a segment to communicate through that segment. Therefore, if you have assigned IP addresses to more than one backplane segment, your DMM, effectively, has multiple addresses (one in each segment).

You can display the IP parameters which are currently assigned in your 8260, using the following command:

8260A> show ip

An example of the output from this command is shown in Figure 29.

Figure 29. Output from Show IP Command

In this example, our DMM is assigned three IP addresses:

∙

∙

∙

9.67.46.1for slip connection through the console/auxiliary port

9.67.46.46for connection through Ethernet_1 9.67.46.238 for connection through token_ring_10

You can clear any of the IP entries assigned to DMM using the following command:

8260A> clear ip index

Where index is the number of the network shown in Figure 29.

2.When there are multiple default gateways defined, you may select one gateway, known as the active default gateway, that will be used by DMM to send the packets to unknown destinations. You can use the following command to select the active default gateway:

8260A> set ip active_default_gateway 9.67.46.238

If you do not select the active default gateway, by default, the active default gateway is the default gateway assigned to the first interface that you have assigned to your DMM. For example, for the DMM shown in Figure 29, the active default gateway would have been 9.67.46.46 had we not defined 9.67.46.238 as the active default gateway.
