AES-100 User’s Guide

Chapter 10

IP Commands

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.

10.1Setting the IP Address

To set the IP address, default gateway and the subnet mask of the Ethernet port of a ADSL Networking Module, use the following command sequence.

1.192.168.1.1> ip

2.192.168.1.1 ip> device delete ether

3.<mac address> ip> device add ether ether //bridge <new ip address>

4.<new ip address> ip> route delete default

5.<new ip address> ip> route add default 0.0.0.0 <default gateway> 00:00:00:00

6.<new ip address> ip> config save

where

 

 

<mac address>

=

The MAC address of the ADSL Networking Module.

<new ip address>

=

The IP address you want to configure into the ADSL Networking

 

 

Module.

<default gateway> =

The default gateway IP address of the ADSL Networking Module.

Line 1 brings you to the IP subsystem.

 

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

Line 3 allows you to add a new IP address for the AES-100. The MAC address of the AES-100 is displayed in the command prompt. 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:

192.168.1.1 ip> subnet delete ether.home

192.168.1.1 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 frames to a destination that is not on the same subnet as the AES-100.

Line 6 saves the new configuration to the nonvolatile memory.
