Chapter 3 Installing the AVS 3180

Configuring Network Settings

After you have installed the AVS 3180, you must configure the basic network settings by using the set

command in the CLI from a console connection. After the basic network settings have been configured,

you can perform additional CLI configuration through the network by using an SSH connection.

Additionally, you can configure application acceleration and other features by using the Management

Console GUI in a Web browser. For details about using the CLI and Management Console, refer to the

Cisco Application Velocity System User Guide.

To configure the basic network settings, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the AVS 3180 from a console connected to the serial port.

Note The default username is fgn, and the password is fineground.

After you log in, the

velocity> prompt appears.

Step 2 Enable writing configuration settings with the enable command:

velocity>enable

Step 3 Configure the network interface with the set interface command:

velocity>set interface ip ip netmask mask default-gateway gw autoneg on

where:

ip is the device interface IP address, such as 10.210.10.45

mask is the device interface network mask, such as 255.255.255.0

gw is the gateway address, such as 10.210.2.1

autoneg can be set to on or off, for speed autonegotiation (if off, you must set the speed and duplex

settings manually by using the

speed and duplex options)

You can view the interface settings by using the show interface command:

velocity>show interface
