Set the Ether0 Network Address

You can set an IP and IPX address on the INA module. Both IP and IPX routing protocols are enabled by default. Information on IPX settings can be found in the PortMaster Configuration Guide and the PortMaster Command Line Reference.

Set the IP Address and Netmask

The IP address identifies the port for IP Ethernet traffic. The default netmask (subnet mask) is 255.255.255.0. If your network is divided into subnets, enter the netmask that identifies how your network addresses are divided between the network portion and the host portion.

Use the following commands to set the IP address and netmask:

Command> set ether0 address Ipaddress

Command> set ether0 netmask Ipmask

Command> save all

Set the Broadcast Address

The broadcast address, constructed from the IP address and netmask of a specified Ethernet interface, is used by RIP to send information to other hosts on a local Ethernet network.

When you set a broadcast address for the Ethernet port on the INA module, all other hosts on the local Ethernet network, must be set to the same broadcast address.

Use these commands to set the broadcast address:

Command> set ether0 broadcast highlow

Command> save all

high—Use when the host part of the binary address is all 1s (ones)—such as 192.168.1.255. This is the most often used setting.

low—Use when the host part of the binary address is all 0s (zeros)—such as 192.168.1.0. This is the default setting.
