6: Network Settings
The Network Settings show the status of the Ethernet or Cellular interface/link and let you
configure the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP
and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the
IP traffic.
The PremierWave XC contains two network interfaces. The Ethernet interface is also called
Network 1 or eth0, and the Cellular interface is called Network 2 or wwan0.
Notes:
 Some settings require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.
 The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with a user-
specified name.
Network 1 Interface Settings
Table 6-1 shows the network interface settings for Ethernet that can be configured. These
settings apply to the Ethernet (eth0) only.

Description
BOOTP Client Select Enable or Disable. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the
PremierWave XC will attempt to obtain IP settings from a BOOTP server.
Note: Overrides the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname, and
domain. When DHCP is Enable, the system automatically uses DHCP,
regardless of whether BOOTP is Enable. Changing this value requires you to
reboot the device.
DHCP Client Select Enable or Disable. At boot up, after the physical link is up, the
PremierWave XC will attempt to obtain IP settings from a DHCP server and will
periodically renew these settings with the server.
Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname,
and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.
Note: Within WebManager, click Renew to renew the DHCP lease.
IP Address Enter the static IP address to use for the interface. You may enter it alone or in
CIDR format.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disable). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When DHCP
or BOOTP is enabled, the PremierWave XC tries to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the PremierWave XC generates and uses
an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network mask of
255.255.0.0.
