IP Configuration

1.IP Network Address: You must assign an IP address to the NETServer’s LAN interface (Ethernet or Token Ring port).

Type the following:

set net0 address <IP address>

Enter

If your network does not use IP, you may choose whatever address you like. See Appendix B for some basics on TCP/ IP addressing. However, if you want to connect the NETServer to the Internet (even indirectly), the address must be unique in the world. To obtain such an address, contact your local Internet service provider. If you need a large number of IP addresses, you may want to contact the InterNIC (see the beginning of this chapter for their ad- dress).

Example:

set net0 address 192.77.203.200

Enter

2.You must set the LAN port’s subnet mask. The default is 255.255.255.0, which would be appropriate for a Class C network with no subnetting or for Class C size subnets of larger networks. You must change this value if the network attached to the NETServer’s LAN port uses a different subnet mask. To change the Netmask, type the following:

set net0 netmask <netmask>

Enter

Example:

set net0 netmask 255.255.255.0

Enter
