Chapter 11: Ethernet Interface Configuration
TR0153 Rev. E1 82
The IP configuration settings shown in the ‘eth0’ interface in the CLI and on
the “Wired/Backhaul Interface” page of the web interface do not necessarily
reflect the current settings of the interface. They are the requested settings
and do not take into account whether the interface has been configured via
DHCP. If the Ethernet DHCP mode is set to ‘client’, the ‘ip.address’,
ip.broadcast’, ‘ip.gateway’, and ‘ip.netmask’ parameters will respond to a ‘get’
command with ‘<dhcp>’ to indicate that the parameters will be assigned by a
DHCP server instead of any values assigned via the CLI. Use the ‘ifconfig eth0’
command in the CLI or access the “Status” page in the web interface to get
current interface settings.
CLI
The Ethernet default IP configuration is available through the following read-only parameters:
• ip.address – IP address
• ip.broadcast – IP broadcast address
• ip.gateway – default gateway
• ip.netmask – netmask
These parameters cannot be set though. These default parameters can be overridden with the
parameters listed below.
• ip.address_force
• ip.broadcast_force
• ip.gateway_force
• ip.netmask_force
The example below, shows how a custom IP address can be set for the Ethernet interface
> use eth0
eth0> set dhcp=none
eth0> set ip.address_force=192.168.1.2
eth0> set ip.broadcast_force=192.168.1.255
eth0> set ip.gateway_force=192.168.1.1
eth0> set ip.netmask_force=255.255.255.0
Web GUI
When an EnRoute500 is in gateway mode, the Ethernet IP address, gateway, netmask, and
broadcast address parameters can be set via the web interface using the “Wired/Backhaul
Interface” page (see Figure 41). The current IP values can be viewed on the “Status” page.
