CLI Quick Setup

Description

Settings

 

Config Eth1

Select one of the following:

 

(1) obtain IP Address from DHCP: The unit will acquire the IP address, subnet

 

mask, hostname, and gateway from the DHCP server. (The DHCP server may or

 

may not provide the gateway and hostname, depending on its setup.) This is the

 

default setting.

 

(2) obtain IP Address from BOOTP: Permits a network node to request

 

configuration information from a BOOTP "server" node.

 

(3) static IP Address: Allows you to assign a static IP address manually. The IP

 

address is generally provided by the system administrator.

 

 

IP Address (if

An IP address that is unique and valid on your network and in the same subnet as

specifying)

your PC. There is no default.

 

If you selected DHCP or BOOTP, this prompt does not display.

 

Enter all IP addresses in dot-quad notation. Do not use leading zeros in the fields for

 

dot-quad numbers less than 100. For example, if your IP address is 172.19.201.28,

 

do not enter 028 for the last segment.

 

Note: Configurations with the same IP subnet on multiple interfaces (Ethernet or

 

PPP) are not currently supported.

 

 

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask specifies the network segment on which the SLC 8000 advanced

 

console manager resides. There is no default. If you selected DHCP or BOOTP, this

 

prompt does not display.

 

 

Default Gateway

IP address of the router for this network. There is no default.

 

 

Hostname

The default host name is slc, where XXXX is the last 4 characters of the hardware

 

address of Ethernet Port 1. There is a 64-character limit (contiguous characters, no

 

spaces).

 

Note: The host name becomes the prompt in the command line interface.

 

 

Domain

If desired, specify a domain name (for example, support.lantronix.com). The domain

 

name is used for host name resolution within the SLC unit. For example, if abcd is

 

specified for the SMTP server, and mydomain.com is specified for the domain, if

 

abcd cannot be resolved, the SLC 8000 advanced console manager attempts to

 

resolve abcd.mydomain.com for the SMTP server.

 

 

Time Zone

If the time zone displayed is incorrect, enter the correct time zone and press Enter. If

 

the entry is not a valid time zone, the system guides you through selecting a time

 

zone. A list of valid regions and countries displays. At the prompts, enter the correct

 

region and country.
