IP Configuration

This chapter shows you how to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) parameters. The IP host implementation in the AES-100 allows you to manage it over the network.

More often than not, you have more than one AES-100 for a particular installation. Before you start configuring the AES-100s, make sure that you

1.Plan ahead.

2.Have a complete diagram showing the whole network.

3.Record the IP parameters assigned to the equipment in your network.

7.1Setting the IP Address

To set the AES -100’s IP address, subnet mask and default route, use the following command sequence:

1.192.168.1.1> ip

2.192.168.1.1 ip> device delete ether

3.192.168.1.1 ip> device add ether ether //bridge <new ip address>

4.192.168.1.1 ip> route delete default

5.192.168.1.1 ip> route add default 0.0.0.0 <default gateway> 00:00:00:00

6.192.168.1.1 ip> config save

7.192.168.1.1 ip> restart

Line 1 brings you to the IP subsystem.

Line 2 clears the old parameters of the AES-100.

Line 3 adds the new IP address for the AES-100. The system will automatically compute the subnet mask when the system is restarted. If you want to specify a subnet manually, add the following two commands before line 4:

3.1192.168.1.1 ip> subnet delete ether.home

3.2192.168.1.1 ip> subnet add ether.home ether <subnet address> <subnet mask>

Where <subnet mask> is the subnet mask in hexadecimal, for example “ff:ff:ff:00”.

Line 4 deletes the existing default route.

Line 5 adds the new default route. The default route tells the system where the gateway (next hop) is when the AES-100 sends packets to a destination that is not on the same subnet as the AES-100.

Line 6 saves the new configuration to the nonvolatile memory.
